What is the time scale for increasing the bounty vs how long it takes to charge a scooter?

If we give the 'hoarders' the benefit of the doubt, could it be the bounty is increasing while they have a bunch of scooters queued up to charge? They grabbed 20 in their truck, and it takes 5 hours to charge 1, but they only have 2 outlets, but the bounty goes up every 12 hours, so they have a backlog?

They're supposed to scan the QR code the moment they grab them, which essentially marks the scooter as found and the rates are frozen. Then they can take their sweet time charging them.

What they're doing instead is grabbing them without scanning them, chirping be dammed, and holding onto them for a while so the bounty increases. Then they scan them as found and charge them.
