This right here. If the trip is cut short because of a domicile layover then the person may not reach the full level. Conversely they may be rerouted into higher value days which would cause the trip to crest the full level only to be rerouted again below the level. The full doesn’t get applied until you are released. I don’t know if it codified but that is how it works.
