A few days ago I noticed a new pending payout message I had never seen before: Max Accepted Payout $1,000

So I decided to go into investigative mode, but unfortunately, I have not found a lot of information.

But as always I want to pass along what I have learned so far.

What?

As its name implies, the Max Accepted Payment appears to be a limit that is set to determine the maximum payout a post can receive.

Why?

The Max Accepted Payment does not show up on every post. It appears that this setting is put in place by third-party applications. In my case, I was using @dPoll. Another Steem user reported seeing the message when using @Streemian.

This setting is most likely set in each application's code.

Want More Information?

I wish I could have provided more definitive information, but the answer seems to still be a bit elusive. Thanks to the following Steem members who asked the same question and provided some information about what is taking place.

I want to hear from you.

1. Have you ever seen this message before?
2. What application had you used to create your post?
3. Do you think that an application should set a max payout on a post?

Thanks for stopping by!
