Idle income earned while the app is closed should taper off and then stop

Paying full income for a week away makes the game pointless, paying nothing feels mean. Here is a way to pay in steps that shrink, stop at a ceiling and let an optional bonus double the result without breaking either.

Why this works

Rewards for being away should reward coming back, not staying away. Paying less the longer the absence keeps checking in worthwhile, and a hard end to the pay stops a long absence from being the best way to play.

When not to use it

Skip it in a game made for very long waits, such as one that is meant to be checked once a week. Tapering would punish the intended rhythm; pay a flat rate up to a generous limit, and tell the player where that limit is.
