Write . The maximum of nonnegative numbers to the power is bounded by their sum, so the increment hypothesis gives
Therefore . The Minkowski inequality and completeness of imply convergence of the defining series whenever
For a fully explicit argument, the norm of every tail is at most , which tends to zero. Since the summands are nonnegative, their pointwise increasing sum equals this finite limit and is finite almost surely. This is a guaranteed range; no endpoint convergence follows from the displayed summability estimate. The assumptions control increments only and do not require .
