Unless I'm missing something, muru's answer applies to this specific case, but the problem, beside Jacob Vlijm's case, which is a particular case, actually exists. Here's a summary of my reputation variation two days ago (09/02). "post" view: [![screenshot1][1]][1] - Had some upvotes between 00:00 and 9:09, which gave me 10 reputation each; - Had a downvote at 9:09, which gave me -2 reputation; - Had some upvotes to the point of capping 200 with an upvote at 18.53, which only gave me 2 reputation ("balancing" the downvote at 9:09) (the timestamp reports 19.14 because as explained in the next point I've had two upvotes shortly after which gave me no reputation which were merged into a single entry; so the timestamp of the last one is reported); - Had 2 upvotes, which gave me no reputation; - Had a final downvote at 22:57, which gave me -2 reputation, making the daily total 198. Doing some math, out of a total of 23 upvotes and 2 downvotes I gained a total of 198 reputation because the last vote was a downvote.
