First I answered this question on March 30 (the same day as the question was posted). Later I got two upvotes.

Then a bounty was started on that question some time in mid-April. I received two upvotes during the bounty period (April 11 and April 14).
(I am not 100% sure, but I think both April 11 and April 14 fall within the bounty period; how can I check what period the bounty was on?)

My answer was never accepted. There was only one other answer that got only one upvote in total and was not accepted.

I was hoping to get half of the bounty following the bounty rules:

If you do not award your bounty within 7 days (plus the grace period), the highest voted answer created after the bounty started with at least 2 upvotes will be awarded half the bounty amount. If there's no answer meeting that criteria, the bounty is not awarded to anyone.

-- but that did not happen.

Question: What could be the reason I did not get (half of) the bounty?

    $\begingroup$ @RichardHardy, maybe you could post an answer to your own question, so it would be highlighted for future users having the same question. Tks. $\endgroup$

As @whuber correctly pointed out, my answer was not created after the bounty started. Therefore, I did not get half the bounty when it expired. Puzzle solved.
