Timings for activity rewards

Hello

I'm new to steam, and doing a bit of lurking while I wrap my head around some of the concepts! I must say, its very, very interesting - I hope that I can become an active member over the coming weeks!

One thing that I'm unsure of, in terms of revenue generation - it says that a post is open for 7 days, and that revenue accumilates during this period and can then be claimed.

What happenes after 7 days, does revenue continue to acrue? to be claimed again, or does it shut down? What would happen if some content was to receive a lot of upvotes after the 7 days?

Or is this active period just the 7 days?

Sorry if this is something simple, I cant quite grasp it!

Thanks for any help
