Depending on what zones you cover at what times of day and what modes
of transport you use, the total amount of Pay As You Go is "capped" in
any single day to just under the cost of a one-day travelcard (or bus
pass) covering the same amount of travel.

And can I stress that the answer to the logical question of "in that
case why use a travelcard at all", is that they are valid on a range of
National Rail services that Oyster PAYG isn't. But it is valid on some -
so knowing what your travel pattern is will help that decision.
