Network-wide Help Center page on Close Vote privilege says

You may cast up to 24 close votes per day (50 on Stack Overflow).

This is out of date: Ask Ubuntu, Super User, and Mathematics also have 50 CVs/day. Instead of updating this page every time another site gets more, perhaps one could say "50 on Stack Overflow and some other high-volume sites"?

(Thanks to lostsock for suggesting some)

By the way, the same page says

A closed question can be deleted as early as 48 hours after its initial closure.

which is not exactly true: it can be deleted earlier, if circumstances warrant. I don't see why this sentence is needed there at all. It seems to reassure authors that they have 48 hours prior to possible deletion, which isn't necessarily so.

The number of close votes per day should now be accurate for whichever site you're viewing that privilege page on. (I turned it into a variable, which eliminates the need for parenthetical comments with caveats about a small subset of sites.)

The point about closed posts being deleted is fine; pretty much the only time we delete posts sooner than that is if they're pure spam, and I don't think it'll surprise anyone that there are slightly different rules for spam posts than for not-spam posts.
