You do not earn any Bonus Tiered Rewards for the first day that you Subscribe;

3.1.1.2.3 will be distributed to your Spot Account the day after it is accrued, between 00:00 UTC to 08:00 UTC. This means that Bonus Tiered Rewards will not be distributed to your Spot Account until the third day after you Subscribe; and

3.1.4.5 in some circumstances, including but not limited to events of extreme market volatility, network delays, a significant number of simultaneous instructions to Redeem from other Binance users, or there are any other unanticipated events that mean that your Redemption may be delayed; 

3.1.4.6 Binance may specify a maximum number of Simple Earn Assets available for Redemption each day.

Flexible Simple Earn: Example

You Subscribe to a Simple Earn Offer for ABC Digital Assets. The Bonus Tiered Rewards Rate is 10%. The Bonus Terms are that the Bonus Tiered Rewards are applied only to a maximum of  5,000 ABC that you used to Subscribe. You Subscribe using 10,000 ABC Digital Assets to Flexible Simple Earn. 

You Subscribe on a Monday at 12:00 UTC.

Real-Time Rewards

Real-Time Rewards begin to accrue immediately upon subscription to the Simple Earn Offer for ABC Digital Assets, and are accumulated in your Earn Account the next minute.

Assuming a Real-Time Rewards Rate of 2% during the first minute. The following amount is distributed to your Simple Earn Account at Monday 12:01 UTC as follows:

10,000 x (2% x 1 / 365 / 24 / 60) = 0.00038051 ABC

Bonus Tiered Rewards

You do not earn Bonus Tiered Rewards for the first day (Monday). Bonus Tiered Rewards begin to accrue on Tuesday, and are distributed to your Spot Account on Wednesday. In this example, you will earn Bonus Tiered Rewards based on a maximum of 5,000 ABC according to the Bonus Terms.

The amount distributed to your Spot Account on Wednesday is as follows:

5,000 x 10% x 1 day / 365 = 1.36986301 ABC

Redemption

You Redeem on Wednesday 12:00 UTC. From Monday at 12:00 UTC (the time you Subscribed) until you Redeemed, both the Real-Time Rewards Rate (2%) and the Bonus Tiered Rewards Rates (10%) remain unchanged.  

You have accrued 2,880 minutes of Real-Time Rewards and 1 day of Bonus Tiered Rewards. 

The amount you would have received in total to your Spot Account is calculated as follows:

= (10,000 x (1 + (2% x 1 / 365 / 24 / 60))^2,880 + (5,000 x 10% x 1day / 365)

= 10001.09595044 + 1.36986301 = 10002.46581345 ABC

In total you earned 2.46581345 ABC.
