It's not fixed. I'm in the same boat to the OP, except I didn't play wednesday or thursday. Because I didn't play on either day I'm out a potential 571,200 SP that I could have recieved prior to the weekly cap being reset. This is an appauling solution to an easy problem, as it gives some players an advantage over others arbitrarily.
I'm not usually one to jump on board the complain train because I can live with imbalances in game content because everyone is on equal footing. This has given a number of players (probably the majority) the opportunity to earn up to 571,200 (no booster) SP more than people who did not play over these 2 days. This is not a fair solution and some sort of compensation should be organised.
Honestly though CCP, why on earth would you not have just taken one of the following routes?
a) Restore weekly cap to 3*190,400 = 571,200 LESS amount already earned or;
b) Increase weekly cap to 6*190,400 = 1,142,400 LESS amount already earned (if you were so intent on providing a "making-up-for-our-screw-up" bonus) as this is what some players have effectively achieved

They didn't fix anything, they reset the weekly cap for everyone, meaning that you missed out on ~375k that people who decided to cap on Thursday got |

If they did the former, there would be a lot more tears. Especially from busy people who set aside Wed/Thur to hit the cap, only to be told it was for nothing and now they have to re-grind.

two very feasible options right there mate This assumes they can set an individual cap for every player easily, quickly, and without it messing anything else up. Not saying they can't, but it may not be as feasible as you think.
is it really that difficult to set variables and input to a simple equation? if so it raises serious doubts in my mind about CCPs coding ability.
