So what's the combat-scale status of that 24-hour-cycle spell?
In the vanishingly unlikely event that it matters, it's perfectly possible to convert to wall clock time on demand. Sure, it might take me a minute to do, but given that I have never seen this come up in any game system, that's a quite acceptable cost.

Oh, I'm talking about wall-clock time for the GM. The PCs may not actually know the answer.
