I understood as that being exactly the point of the GP, rather than contrary. Because of the 'most' referring to the 24 hrs, not amount of reboots.
But I guess this is the point where my lack of English skill comes into play.

is what I meant to say!
But now I've taken a look at your phrasing ... I think I read your post as 'at most once every 24 hours', not 'at most every 24 hours' which is actually pretty ambiguous, and not as clear-cut as I was trying to say.
'at most every 24 hours' would imply reboots_per_day < 1 is bad and reboots_per_day >= 1 is good; i.e. that the standard was focused on preventing unnecessary reboots, but didn't care if the reader didn't reboot regularly, which I think is contrary to the comment's meaning.
'at least every 24 hours' is correct.
