After the 24 hours waiting period is up you have 1 hour to turn the setting on or you have to wait 24 hours again to have the opportunity to turn the setting on. This is not noted in any docs, I only heard this from another Lemmy thread where several ppl confirmed this happened to them.
Once you turn the setting on you can select if you want it turned on for 7 days or forever.
I just tested it - well, rather, 26 hours ago I did. And I was just reminded and went “shit, have I missed the 1hr window.”
But evidently not. I went back and it said I now have until this time tomorrow to turn it on. So there is a second timer, but it’s clearly more than 1hr - maybe 24hr.
ETA: FML, it’s late; I’ve just realised it’s Friday already (hey, it’s 2am). And now I’m not sure, I think it said “you have until 2.20am Friday…”, in which case yeah, the second window is short, but maybe 2 hours not 1 (it was roughly 12.20am Thursday that I hit the button.)
I’m just gonna delete my comments cause now your comments make very clear what the correct understanding of how it works is. Sorry for all the clutter I just stress a lot about misunderstandings, it’s a social anxiety thing 😅

You are confusing 2 things

Thank you for correcting me!
Can’t have you thinking outside of the google box.
