Six questions in 24 hours: when does this reset? [duplicate]

Question

Time reset/ending time for “Sorry, you are only allowed to ask 6 questions in a 24 hour period”

A couple of times I have been blocked from asking a question on SO because I have already asked 6 questions in the last 24 hours.

But I don't think this calculation is accurate. There's no way I have asked six questions in the last 24 hours yet it is still giving me that message.

Does it wait a whole 24 hours before you can ask a question again? If so, the message given is inappropriate.

There's no way I have asked six questions in the last 24 hours yet it is still giving me that message.

Yes, there is a way:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8291684/can-you-use-visual-c-sharp-2010-express-for-commercial-purposes
• Why would a VB6 .frm file ever be full of binary?
• Is there any way to remove multiple forms from a VB6 project?
• Can someone decompile my C# app and override the protection mechanism?
• Unable to open designer on form in C# 2010
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8295893/start-a-new-c-sharp-project-in-winforms-or-wpf (deleted, 10k only)

And those are 6 questions that have been posted within the last 24 hours.

Does it wait a whole 24 hours before you can ask a question again?

Unlike the other limits, which reset at 00:00 UTC, this one counts how many questions you've asked in the past 24 hours. At the time you tried to post a new question, there were 6 of them.

Right now, there should be 5, so you should be able to post another question by now.
