There is no daily expiration time, so that point is moot unless the hotel tries to apply it otherwise. In the two-day example I gave, a member could charge $8 on the check-in day on drinks and snacks, $12 on the second full day on breakfast and $4 on check-out day on a drink, to reach the $24 total stay max.
Thanks for the further update, William.

Unfortunately, this thread is replete with numerous stories of hotels applying, in various forms, the posted daily-expiration rule. So IMO you & Hilton HQ in general will need to do much more than just revise the FAQs to reflect this change in policy. There is a clear and obvious need to provide updated guidance to property managers.
