That’s what I thought too, but it looks like someone got a bit more than you a few weeks before: https://medium.com/immunefi/polygon-lack-of-balance-check-bu...

(Dec 28 2021)

> Polygon is paying out a bounty of $2.2m in stablecoins to Leon Spacewalker and 500,000 MATIC to Whitehat2, which according to current market value is worth $1,262,711. The $2.2m exceeds the maximum value of Polygon’s critical bounty in recognition of the severity of the vulnerability.

Interestingly, this reminds me of a report I wrote a long time ago about the dangers of ecrecover (as it can give ambiguous results)
