That doesn't mean you can risk-free cancel flights departing same day right?

Example:

Friday at 12:01 AM EST: I book a flight
Saturday at 11:15 PM EST: Flight takes off

My understanding is that I wouldn't be able to cancel the flight on Saturday and get a full refund under risk-free in this scenario. (Apologies if I misunderstood this)
