I answered a question (Is there a limit on pinned taskbar items?) Which the user put a bounty of 50+ reputation. After the grace period ended, I was rewarded, but only 25+. Is this normal behavior? Can I do this on any bounty, or does the bounty automatically decrease after the grace period is ended ? (I answered before the grace period.)

The bounty expired without being awarded. As you had a score of +2 then half the bounty was awarded to you. superuser.com/help/bounty– Mokubai ModCommented Nov 5, 2015 at 18:34

The user didn't assign the bounty manually, so half of the bounty it was automatically awarded to you as your answer was the highest-scoring new answer. See the linked question for more information.– bwDracoCommented Nov 5, 2015 at 18:35

@bwDraco, Where does the other half go to?– PacerierCommented Nov 5, 2015 at 22:53

The other half of the bounty is forfeited.– bwDracoCommented Nov 5, 2015 at 22:55
