Watching ads for energy pays twice when the "finished" message arrives twice

Rewarded ads for a bit of energy need three guards: a daily limit, a pause between ads and protection against a repeated notice from the ad system. Here is how they work together, and from when the pause is counted.

Why this works

A reward should follow the event that earned it, not the message that reports it. Giving it once per unique token makes repeats harmless, and the order of the checks decides what the player is told, so the honest answer comes first.

When not to use it

Skip it if your game shows no ads, or if watching one is a rare, optional extra without a real reward. Then the limits and pauses protect nothing; keep a single plain check that the same ad is not paid twice.
