 ===== Vote to adjust =====
-[[commands:harder|.harder]] and [[commands:easier|.easier]] request a change for future picks. The required share of current players and step size are configured per room. A successful vote does not replace the current map or visible queue. Automatic rooms can later readjust under their normal policy.
+[[commands:harder|.harder]] and [[commands:easier|.easier]] request a change for future picks. The required share of current players and step size are configured per room. A pending vote can remain open for up to two completed maps. That window is for collecting votes; it is not a two-map duration for a successful difficulty change. A successful vote does not replace the current map or visible queue. Automatic rooms can later readjust under their normal policy.
 Do not confuse a difficulty vote with [[wiki:ratings|map feedback]]: ''.bad'' rates the last completed map, while ''.easier'' adjusts selection difficulty. See [[wiki:voting|voting rules]].
+===== Worked example =====
+Use ''.easier'' to vote for easier future picks. After the vote passes, ''.pool'' shows the range; already queued maps remain in place.
+===== Limitations =====
+Step size, threshold, and baseline policy depend on the room. A difficulty vote is not a map rating.
