More than +200 reputation in a day: how is this allowed?

Question

As you can see, I didn't receive any bounties but I still got more than 200 reputation! What does it mean?

It has also happened to me before but I thought that was because I edited a lot of posts, but as you can clearly see, I didn't do any of that today.

How many accepted answers and bounties did you get? SERIOUSLY? :O — Sumeet Deshmukh, Commented May 16, 2017 at 7:23
Darn it. I lost an upvoted after that. So 730. Here is the graph: askubuntu.com/users/15811/… — Rinzwind, Commented May 16, 2017 at 7:41
stackoverflow.com/users/712603/david-robinson holds the current record with 1550. And this SQL can be used for that: data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/110083/… — Rinzwind, Commented May 16, 2017 at 7:48
Naaah. Only 50 from upvotes and 3x 500 bounty. He was slacking that day after he got the 1st 500 :=) — Rinzwind, Commented May 16, 2017 at 7:52

The +15 for an accepted answer doesn't count towards the rep cap. Neither does the +2 for accepting an answer.
