While steemit.com fails to offer a max-payout UI option, here are a few workarounds:
- Keep posting, let it self-correct. If the reward really is too high, it's not like it's your fault. People should pay attention and fix their curation logic.
- Use Decline Payout every so often so that over the course of many days, your payouts are limited.
- Start posting with streemian.com (Scheduled Posts) and set a Maximum accepted payout in the Advanced Options.
- Use my ruby script to post, which also allows you to set a max payout.
This is good to know, my work around is @berniesanders, he has been managing my max payouts, for the last couple of months, for me by ensuring that they get downvoted appropriately... He was just a little slack and slow figuring out this last 12 hours thing
