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.

The Chalfont time looks odd. If there was a 0912 from Amersham, then
Amersham/Chorleywood/Rickmansworth passengers would be off-peak, but
Chalfont passengers peak?
