When I cast a vote to close a Q, it says
24 votes remaining
But in reality the Q gets closed in 5 votes.
Can anyone please explain this ambiguity?
From the help center,
It takes 5 close votes to reach the closing threshold (except for duplicate questions, which can be marked as duplicate with a single vote from a user who has earned a gold tag badge in one of that question's current tags, unless that user participated in editing the tags).
You may cast up to 24 close votes per day.
It means a user has a limit of 24 votes per day which they can use for closing a question.
But in reality the Q gets closed in 5 votes.
These 5 votes are voted by five different users/reviewers.
