Unclear. Either midnight or as soon as last 24 hours contain less than 6 hours of looped time. I’ve been wondering this as well. I think I remember something being said like “No combination of time-turners could let you fit more than 30 hours into a day” but I don’t know if that really helps...
Where is that written? I well remember that no chain of time turners can send information (at least information comprehensible by humans) back more than 6 hours, but that still allows one to add those 6 hours more than once a day, especially with multiple time turners.
″...Sorry to ask but I was wondering, is it possible to get more than six hours if you use more than one Time-Turner? Because it’s pretty impressive if you’re doing all that on just thirty hours a day.”
Dumbledore:
“I’m afraid Time doesn’t like being stretched out too much,” said Dumbledore after the slight pause, “and yet we ourselves seem to be a little too large for it, and so it’s a constant struggle to fit our lives into Time.”
Thanks, but that’s not actually definitive. Somewhere on Reddit is a list of information about time turners, and while this was quoted there, nothing else suggested that you couldn’t go back 6 hours, wait 12 hours, then go back 6 hours with a new time turner.
But there was a clear statement by Eliezer that you couldn’t go back 6 hours, wait only 6 hours, and then go back again. This imposes a hard limit of 48 hours per day.
Nope, you’re right. It’s not definitive. In my original comment, I just said I thought I remembered reading somewhere that you couldn’t fit >30 hrs into a day, and the passage I quoted is where I got that impression. If /r/hpmor thinks it’s possible that TTs let you fit up to 48 hrs in a day, then I have high confidence there wasn’t anything explicitly forbidding it in the story.
Just to be clear, the Reddit thread didn’t say that you can fit 48 hours in a day, it just didn’t say that you couldn’t. And it probably had that Dumbledore quotation too, it’s just me saying that we can’t know for sure what that quote means.
When does TT reset to unused? At midnight?

Haha, yup, I gotcha. Thanks for the info.
