Zero-point Energy Contribution Below the Planck energy cutoff

In summary, zero-point energy is the minimum amount of energy that a system can possess even at absolute zero temperature, resulting from quantum mechanical effects. It is a fundamental component of a system's energy and is always present, contributing to the stability and behavior of atoms and molecules. While it cannot be directly measured or observed, its effects can be seen in various physical phenomena. Zero-point energy is currently being researched as a potential source of renewable energy, but its practical applications are limited by the Planck energy cutoff, the highest energy that can exist in a quantum system.

TL;DR Summary
Zero-point Energy Contribution Below Planck
Is it possible to determine the amount of zero-point energy contributed by all fields below the Planck energy cutoff?

If by "determine" you mean compute, then it depends on which theory do you use.
