Your current happy status is represented by the yellow bar in your Information sidebar panel with timer next to it showing time until next happy increase.
A player with maximum base happiness of 5025, with a timer indicating 14 minutes and 57 seconds until the next increment of happiness by 5.
A player with happiness temporarily above maximum, with a timer indicating 9 minutes and 4 seconds until happiness resets back to maximum.
Always check the time before undertaking actions that increase happiness beyond its maximum.
Temporary maximum happiness one can achieve is 99999. Reaching this for the first time will also reward player with the award.
Using Happy
Happy plays a role in all aspects of the game.
However, it's primarily used or maintained for improved gym gains. Happy significantly impacts gym gains, especially when your stats are at a lower level.
In Crimes 1.0, happiness increased success rates, but the effect wouldn't have been that noticeable. Within Crimes 2.0, happiness increases crime skill and experience gains, not success rates. The exact amount that happiness improves gains has not been revealed. Source: https://www.torn.com/newspaper.php#!/articles/2552

Patch History
- You can now achieve a maximum happiness of 99,999. Before, the imposed limit was 32,767 for technical reasons.
- Happiness now has more of an effect on gym gains, so it'll become noticeable when you upgrade your property or overdose. This should be very noticeable in the 0 - 5000 happiness range, and less noticeable with more and more happiness. Any perks or bonuses you have that increase stat gains, will also increase this new effect.
- Happiness now shows duration until expiry when over full.
