The 24 month rule has always been there (well, it used to be 18 month, I think). As I understand it from this forum, the automated system doesn't enforce this, so if you get auto-approved you're golden; but if it goes to review (presumably for some reason other than 24 months), the manual reviewer catches the 24 month issue.
