You get paid the highest of what was awarded or what was actually flown per duty period.

If you have a day that is awarded as 5.0, later gets changed to 10.0, but then cancels before you fly anything, you get 5.

If you have a day that is awarded as 10.0 and cancels with just a deadhead home paying 5, you get paid 10.0.

Clear as mud?
