″...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.

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