A reward fills energy past the maximum, and then the bar shrinks or stops working

Rewards that give more than a full bar are popular, but code that assumes the value is never above the maximum then does odd things: it cuts the bonus away, refuses to refill, or breaks the percent display. Here are the few rules that keep it sane.

Why this works

A limit is only a rule for the slow, automatic refill, not a wall around what the player owns. If every update squeezes the value under the limit, any gift quietly shrinks, and the player feels cheated by a reward.

When not to use it

Skip the extra room when the bar is a fixed, honest picture of capacity, such as a backpack or a magazine. There a gift that does not fit should wait or be turned into something else.
