In English, "in 2 days" means the same as "after 2 days have passed". So the prompt is correct. Your version would work as "You can not accept your own answer within 2 days after posting the question", but that does not tell you how long you have to wait. (You'll see tomorrow that it will say "in 1 day" or even "in x hours".) Therefore, the current version is preferable.
