Why be more generous than the new industry / DOT standard?
I hope so but wonder if UA might change.

Remember during COVID UA tried to go to 12 or more hours until DOT forced them back to their prior policy.

Note for the 24 hour free cancellation of non-refundable, UA 's practice is more generous than DOT rule in respect of still allow refund for last minutes ( with 7 days) booking. But UA's written policy includes the 7-day cutoff.
