What happens if you stop steeming for a while?

Hi! Does anyone know what happens if you stop steeming for a while? I stopped steeming about sixteen days ago. About five days ago, I started posting again, but my upvote has no power, and people upvoting me doesn't do anything for me.

Does anyone know about how long this will last? Just curious... either way, I am still going to continue to post. Any information about this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!!
