I'm not Tycho either, but: If you set your payout threshold to say, 3BTC, and it auto-pays you, it will auto-pay you again in 24 hours if you have 3BTC on deepbit. If not, it will auto-pay you as soon as you reach 3BTC and the 24-hour cycle begins again. This is from my experience, so if anyone can add more info, or if my information needs correcting, feel free.
