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.
