Many people (including TJ themselves apparently) will warn you that if you ever forget to tap out, your card will be blocked on your next tap-in attempt, but what exactly does that mean? Is it blocked forever, or is it only "blocked" for a certain duration until the next tap-in just simply resets the card's state? I'm confused because I haven't had that happen to my card so far.

So for context, my routine experience with it so far:

1. From home: JakLingko ride to non-BRT halte - very short ride, sometimes they drive fast enough that the cooldown period hasn't yet expired to allow the card to be tapped out. When that happens, tapping into the halte's reader usually just resets the card's state - not blocked.
2. To workplace: I tap out at my destination BRT halte - nothing special.
3. -- (9 jam kemudian) --
4. From workplace: I tap in from the same BRT halte i arrived at.
5. Almost home: Stop at non-BRT halte to find a JakLingko car - this halte is a terminus, and sometimes I'll forget to tap out and the driver just ignores it. When this happens, tapping into the JakLingko reader will also reset the card's state - not blocked.
6. Back home: very short JakLingko ride like in #1, sometimes they're fast and I don't get to properly tap out when I reach my place. For this case, let's assume that happened.
7. -- (the next day) --
8. Repeat from #1, but when I tap in, the reader doesn't seem to say that it's successfully reset the card, so it's just a normal tap-in...? either way, not blocked.

So what's going on here? I would love an explanation on how the system actually operates. If it makes any difference at all, my card of choice is that old e-Tollcard that Bank Mandiri issued a long while back.

Thanks!
