Sorry if this has been brought up before, but am I missing something
about Oyster capping?

"If you travel from a station north of Chorleywood or Hatch End on a
weekday after the times below, you'll be charged a peak pay as you go
fare, but your journey will count towards an Off-Peak cap instead of Peak cap."

That touch in time for Chesham is given as "After 09:10"

But the next Chesham departure "After 09:10" is at 09:34 - when
Off-Peak applies to fares, anyway.

Am I missing something?

Maybe it's in case there's a timetable change some time in the future and
a train timed at say 09.14 is introduced.

If you look at the relevant page, you can see that Chesham is in line with
other outlying Met stations, that do have trains in the relevant period:

Station Time of Touch In
Chesham 09:10*
Amersham 09:10
Chalfont & Latimer 09:20
Chorleywood 09:15
Rickmansworth 09:20

* Warning: first train from Chesham is not until 0934. You are not advised
to touch in before 0930 or you may be overcharged.
