I should also add that the penalty decrease happens over time so that the
end result is cut in half after the half-life time. So if your penalty is
1000 and half-life is 15 minutes your penalty will decrease as follows
(these are estimates)

penalty: 1000
5 seconds later: 994 (estimate)
1 minute later: 920 9estimate)
5 minutes later: 800 (estimate)
15 minutes later: 500

hope you get the idea,
Please correct if I am wrong in any of this. Thank you,
