Stamina recovery and caps

Base natural recovery, the regeneration cap and how a planner counts the next recovery tick.

Natural recovery

The base recovery rule gives 1 stamina every 5 minutes, up to 200. Check your current recovery timer and bonuses before applying the base rate to your account.

Planning scenarios

ScenarioWhat to count
Below the natural capCount the time until the next point, then the interval for later points.
At or above the natural capNatural regeneration is paused; existing stamina is not treated as lost.
Away without spendingOnce the cap is reached, later natural recovery opportunities are missed.
Consumables reserved for laterKeep them separate from the natural balance until you are ready to spend.

The next tick matters

If the next point is due in one minute, it does not take a full five minutes to earn it. The planner accepts that initial countdown separately. Its timeline assumes no stamina spending while away and does not add unspecified mission or event rewards.
