Hardened Ward Tooltip vs Actual

I noticed a discrepancy between the Sorc's Hardened Ward tooltip and what it's supposed to be.

My stats:
Health: 22,237
Magicka: 36,594

Damage shields are capped to 60% of max health and they are half the value in PvP settings.
Based on the stats above, my dmg shield should be capped to 6,671 (22,237*0.6/2), but my tooltip says 7,808.

This number corresponds to the Max magicka multiplied by the coefficient factor of Hardened Ward divided by 2 (PvP) (7,808 = 36,594*0.42677 / 2). In other words, the tooltip is NOT using the 60% health cap constraint to calculate the number.

Is this a tooltip bug or a skill bug?
I did some further testing in BG... got to really low health and let a few executioners land on me... saw a (7752) in the flying combat text which makes me think this is not a tooltip bug.

    You just didn't get it, she shield value is max(magicka*0.42677 / 2, 0.6 * health). Aka, your shield value is clamped to 60% max health after it is calculated

    I think i get it now, thanks. The website i was using as a baseline was wrong.
    So my tool tip is correct, 7,808 (36,594*0.42677 / 2). And it's capped to 60% max health which is = 13,342.

    So, the UESP tool is wrong because it's multiplying by 0.5 the result of the 60% health cap.

    Per the UESP tool: Tooltip Damage Shield = 6,671.
