Stupid question… if I delete and recreate the container mid-month with a different wallet, how is that handled?

I believe they sample the wallet addresses right at the end of the month: same time they snapshot all the other variables that are used to calculate your payment.

So the payment for the whole month would go to the new address: even if you only swapped it mid-month.

Just to be sure your money won’t go to the old wallet, make the change before the end of the month, like at least 24h before (UTC time), or after you receive the payout next month.
