Coins caps .... still little confused

I know it was asked before many times but I am still confused with something
Daily cap is 50 coins , do the same cap apply to the returning Pokemon for example
Only One defender is in gym staying more than the 9~hours let's say another 9 so the Pokemon will return with 100 coin ?

Nope, 50 coins max per day, no matter how many hours, days and weeks your mon has been in the gym, the daily limit rules.

So keep in mind that if you have already got the 50 coins for that day and a mon nearby is low on motivation you should try to feed him in order to make him stay at least until 00.00 granting you 50 coins, because if not he will come back to you with nothing.

This is for the biggest flaw of this system, not the limitation of 50 coins, the limitation that anything past that 9 hours is USELESS, and you don't have any power to control it, for example calling the mon back yourself.

This leads to no sense of taking down and control multiple gyms like before, which leads to a faster stagnation than ever (increased because prestige is gone), people normally don't want/like other teams to get coins, so they leave their gyms for days and weeks, the place gets distributed fast, for example if you have 9 gyms, 3 gyms per team (just an example), no one attacks because you have no reason to do so, and if you do it people go there and kicks you out in less than you get even 2 or 3 coins, so you learn the lesson and don't spend time and resources on taking down gyms.

I am seeing this on my town since day 3/4 of the rework, the first days the hype was high and people didn't know how the system works, but now this is the situation here and on the 4 towns nearby. It is a shame.

You can solve this problem for yourself.

(1st attempt)
Go out really late in the night and take down all gyms. It should be easy, when nobody heals back.
Maybe you are lucky and one of those gyms will not be taken back until next morning.

(2nd attempt)
You could talk to your rivals and agree about the time to take a gym each day, so everybody gets his coins.

BTW, for me, coins are not so neccesairy anymore. I get far more out of a raid in comparison to an egg hatch. One free raid per day is just fine.

Some people has a job and can't go out on night just to get gyms. Also this does not fix the problem at all because other players play at night too.

On top of that I was not talking about myself only, talking about a situation that is spreading in my town and the towns nearby, how in the world do you expect me to take down all my town gyms every single day? Where do I find the potions, revives and time to do it every day? Unless sources were unlimited the problem is there and will be there forever until they decide to fix the huge flaws this gym sytem has.

You talked of 9 Gyms total, not a problem to take down 6 of them. Maybe this is a small town?

I do work too and i can play till midnight and get out at 6am. And there are weekends.

I see huge problems with gym system too, but i did manage to earn my 50 coins every day until now. I now know some rival players, as we do raids together. Of course we agree to take down each others gyms after 9 hours.

I stopped attacking gyms pretty much right away after the update...Even if you can attack, it just feels bad to give everyone (your rivals) their 50 coins and you will get 5 or less normally since they will kick you out quickly.

I see my local gyms now going to the dominant team and I laughed a bit today since the mons have been there for like a day and no one bothered to knock them out this time...Some there got 0 coins for that reason...

I think as time goes on, even though the gym battles are easier vs an old level 10 gym, you STILL have to fight the darn thing 18 times and casuals are NOT going to bother. It was new so there was some turnover earlier on, but once you get your 50 coins, you have little/no incentive to spend 20 minutes to tear down a full level 6 gym...Also, you can "ERROR" glitch and have to wait 10 more minutes just to fight again wasting even more time...I have unlimited potions and revives now since I don't attack rivals and there is no prestiging anymore, but ultimately, my time is worth more to me than the 5 coins I get (at least before, you were guaranteed 10 coins)....

The gym raids were a nice change, but the new gym meta is pretty much a total mess and WORST IMO than before. At least, before, most/all people can find 1 or 2 high turnover gyms on their way to work, whatever and get 20-30 coins and call it a day...Now, unless you are the last mon in a gym, you got 10 or less since you get booted.

Stagnation will be worst now and the old far out of the way gyms that were great to look for, a reason to explore are totally worthless now.

You need gyms which can be driven to without getting out of the car, turns over daily.

I didn't clarify my question, let me rephrase
1 st day 50 coins
2nd day , will I get any coins or the second day ?

I thought that my comment was pretty clear itself, 50 coins max per day if your mon gets kicked out (the rate for coins is 1coin/10 minutes but you only get them when the mon comes back to you)

If you have had a mon in a gym for 3 days, and comes back to you on day 4, on THAT day you will get 50 coins if and only if you have not get that amount on that same day from other mon.

50 coins/day

If you don't collect coins one day the next day you can still collect just 50 coins

Since there is almost no competition between teams, why not let other teams to collect coins? I take down some gyms, but only if it not fed and no blissey/chansey/lax, so it costs me almost no time/potions.
But there is an instinct gym nearby, there is one guy who unsuccessfully tried to claim it before rework and just gave up. But now he claimed it and maintain completely fed, I took it down once (everybody was there more than one day) but he got it back in about one hour. It make no sense to help such a dicks. Looks like he don't want coins he just want this gym, so he could keep it, it don't affect me now.
