I thought story points and void essence points weren't supposed to count towards the chapter max, but I'm pretty sure mine did since I'm at 1933. I didn't do the plot until late Monday (10:45 my time) when I checked again before bed and saw it had finally activated. I haven't done today's dailies yet. I've been battling until I get the NP and items, and sending all 6 pets on hospital shifts together (1 Monday, 3 yesterday, and 1 this morning).
Edit: today's void essence points, at least, didn't count towards the total, so maybe only story points did? Were they supposed to? I didn't count my battles, and I don't remember how many points you get for hospital shift.
The only thing the FAQ specifies DOES NOT count towards the 3k chapter limit are void essences and achievements. I'll get the FAQ up on the info page sometime in the next day or two, but here's the relevant info:
Quote:
Plot points earned from Void Essence collection (including the weekly collection prize and community goals) and Fearless Deeds do not count towards the plot point bar being filled.
That being said, I'm 100% certain that all 13 points from the 13 pages of the chapter counted towards the bar, because that was all I did at first, and I saw my bar at 13/3000.
ETA:
Flavor text for the Pet the Doglefox Fearless Deed (when you initially activate it), saved for posterity's sake:
A few quick notes: The Lost in the Dark mini game WILL be back after this chapter ends, according to the FAQ. If, like me, you didn't get the Fearless Deed associated with it on your first try, we'll have another chance at it then. There is also an avatar for the new mini game (when you complete it).
This was also in the editorial today:

Hi TNT! I like the idea of having a cap of plot points per chapter so people don't feel overwhelmed, but would it be possible to adjust it so that players that wish to collect points past the cap are able to? There's a lot of prizes I want, but so little points to get them with! ~lexstravi
We’ve been hearing the feedback about the chapter plot points cap! We plan on taking a look and doing an update soon. ~~Sunpotato
So....point cap per chapter is being reevaluated.
On a completely different note: I got a LOT of work done on the info posts tonight. Things that were updated:
1) First post has Act III links started, as well as the updated FAQ's added in.
2) Second post now has ALL chapter prizes (I was short some, plus the new ones), the Fearless Deeds have been updated (including noting which ones were moved from Act II to Act III), Trophies were updated, aaaaaaand....the Prize Shop Act III Additions are all in now. Whew! (That was probably the most daunting task.)
3) Hospital Volunteering post now has Act III prizes
4) Skeleton posts have been made for Cosy Campfire Collection, Tea Time with Tavi, and Lost in the Dark. FAQ's are up to date in those, but prizes are not (as of yet).
As I am now going cross-eyed from having worked on all this for 2 1/2 hours, I'm calling it a night. Hopefully I'll have some more free time tomorrow to get the mini-game posts more up to date!
