Direct Message Limit - Definition of a Day

I am aware that the Direct Message limit of 250 per day is a limit on the user not an API rate limit however while writing a particular DM-focused app it is important that we understand “who’s day”?

Is it a calendar day and if so is it GMT, the servers time zone, or the sending user’s time zone?

Or is it, as some seem to think based on anecdotally observed behaviors, a sliding 24-hour window?

We could start slamming out DM’s until we hit limits and try to figure it out but it seems somewhat more straightforward and efficient to just ask

Anyone actually know ?

Found elsewhere day is UT /(GMT??) Day but in counting outbound DMs at the time an account is suspended (“jailed”) for hitting the limit, the GMT calendar day totals are all over the place. Nothing approximates 250. Still looking…
