Are there any known issues with this? It doesn’t seem to be working for us:

- I’m out of votes with a limit of 10, but only voted on 9 things here
- The two highlighted topics are both closed, but still appear on my votes page / I’m still out of votes

Sounds similar to: [Closed topics not returning votes to users](https://meta.discourse.org/t/closed-topics-not-returning-votes-to-users/91808) - but the fix there was about moving topics between categories // which doesn’t apply here?
