That is a 1.9x burst, not 10x, right? And that's at best, assuming you got no emails at all the previous day.

- londons_explore 5y agoNo, because it can carry over multiple days... So eventually the maximum you'll get is sum 0 to inf [ 0.9^n ] ... Which is 10x
- barrkel 5y agoI read "90% of unused allowance carries over to the next day" as unused allowance carries over exactly 1 day. That is, it's the allowance that carries over, not the carry over. If allowance is fungible like you say, then sure, you're right. My experience of accountants and lawyers is that they don't treat these things as fungible, and are more likely to do something like: Day 1: allowance 200 emails carried over 0 consumed 0 Day 2: allowance 200 carried over 180 consumed 0 Day 3: allowance 200 carried over 180 // 90% of 200 not 380 consumed 50 // consumption taken from allowance first Day 4: allowance 200 carried over 135 // 90% of 150 not 200 or 330 consumed 0 and so on. Maybe it's treated as fungible, but IMO the above is how lawyers and accountants would treat it.
