    The violation is committed every 24h. You do not get a bonus/discount for waiting out. It is added to your already amassed fine. The way you count would mean, that on day 5, they would get a ~50% discount in the fine (paying only 800K instead of the amassed 1.55M)

    Day 1: 50K -> 50K = 50K locked in

    Day 2: 100K -> 100K + 1st day 50K = 150K locked in

    Day 3: 200K -> 200K + 2nd day 100K + 1st day 50K = 350K locked in


    Day 4: 400K -> 400K + 3rd day 200K + 2nd day 100K + 1st day 50K = 750K locked in

    Day 5: 800K -> 800K + 4th day 400K + 3rd day 200K + 2nd day 100K + 1st day 50K = 1.550.000K locked in

    Day 6: 1.6M = 3.15M

    Day 7: 3.2M = 6.35M

    Day 8: 6.4M = 12.75M

    Day 9: 12.8M = 25.55M

    Day 10: 25.6M = 51.15M

    Day 11: 51.2M = 102.35M

    Day 12: 102.4M = 204.75M

    Day 13: 204.8M = 409.55M

    Day 14: 409.6M = 819.15M

    Day 15: 819.2M = 1.638B
