Geo cap can die mid-day
Affiliate geo daily caps reset on a clock. Mid-day fills can burn the whole line before evening traffic. Type cap, fills so far, and hours left today.
Pair: Geo-cap exhaustion on Traffic. Cap vs CRM sales: affiliate cap vs CRM. Extra posts: postback dedupe.
What you type
Geo daily cap — written units for that geo today (network / offer sheet).
Fills so far — credited fills against that geo cap in the same day.
Hours left today — hours until the geo day resets (your clock, not UTC hope).
Leftover = cap − fills. Filled % = fills ÷ cap. Pace projects fills by day end from elapsed hours (24 − hours left). Raise the geo cap or throttle sources before inventing a “normal” fill curve.
What not to do
Do not invent a fill rate. Do not mix all-geo fills into one geo’s cap. Do not treat CRM still-selling as proof the geo cap has room. Do not ignore hours left when leftover looks fat at noon.
