Question regarding Corrupting Fever DPS cap.

Hey guys,

I'm deep into optimizing a Corrupting Fever build in Path of Building (PoB) and I've hit a strange wall that I can't seem to bypass.

The Issue: My total Corrupting Blood DPS in PoB is stuck exactly at 35,791,394. No matter what I add to the build—more Physical Damage, Damage over Time Multiplier, or generic damage stats—the final DPS number for Corrupting Blood will not go up.

The Question: Does Path of Exile have a hard, in-game cap on Damage Over Time (DoT) that is right around 35.8 million DPS?

Or, is this a known Path of Building calculation bug where the display just maxes out the DoT damage at this specific number?

I'd really appreciate it if anyone who has pushed high-end DoT builds could let me know if they've hit this ceiling too, or have any ideas about this.

Thanks for any help!

Yes, there is a DOT cap, I believe that it is around the 35 million mark.
