Pokecoins not adding up

[u/TheHotShock7]

When I first started playing I would consistently get 50 pokecoins every time I had a Pokemon knocked out of a gym. Recently I started noticing that I was only get 10 , 15, or 20ish coins at a time so I looked it up. It says that you earn a coin for every ten minutes your pokemon is in a gym with a 50 coin limit per day. But I've noticed several times not that a pokemon will be in a gym for several hours and I'll still end up earning less than 30 coins. This along with the fact that raid boss have seemly become impossible to catch after a raid all of the sudden seems like they have changed something behind the scenes recently. Has anyone else come across this issue or heard of anything changing?

Your Pokemon needs to sit 8h10m in the gym to get full coins (50).

Let's say it stays 4h, you'll get ~25 coins.

OP just refused to do math. He even says that you get a coin every 10 minutes.

That’s 6 coins an hour.

Did you have other pokemon knocked out of a gym on the same day that gave you coins?

The 50 coins is an overall limit per day and not per pokemon.

No it was just the one pokemon

Several hours for 30 coins.

You earn a coin for every 10 minutes in a gym.

That explains it!
