If you top up the daily oyster cap of £4.50 and use the oyster after midnight at 1am will that oyster be usable for the rest of that day ?
It's the 19th of march now but at midnight it's the 20th, I want to use my oyster on the 20th so is it safe to use it at 1am ?

Using your Oyster card at 1am counts as travel on the 19th
The Oyster cap means yiu will never spend more than £4.50 in a day however much you travel.
It is not a limit on your travel.
This doesn't make any sense. Of course your Oyster is always usable and you can top it up at any time. The day for capping starts at 4.30 am and runs until 4.29 am next day, so if you use it at 1 am, that's counted as part of the day before.
Daily Oyster cards are valid from 4.30a.m. on one day until 4.29a.m. the following day. Regardless of the time you bought it on the 19th, it will expire at 4.29 a.m. on the 20th. This information is on the TFL website.
