I would just hydrate and claim as much as possible before the change occurs. If the drip is in your wallet. You can keep it. It’s the Drip in your faucet max payout balance that you lose access to.

So, if your wallet becomes net negative from claiming more than your deposit + available (the new drip site dripnetwork.io shows you this for you I believe) then when the change occurs, you won’t have access to the entire max payout any more.

But, if you claim it and it’s in your wallet, you can keep that. It’s only the “excess” in your faucet deposit balance that you end up losing access to, according to the change. At least, that’s my understanding- you can check the notes yourself to see if that’s how you understand it too (I included a link to the notes near the bottom of the article).

Thanks for reading!
Kind regards,
