Why say "in 24 hours" when it's a ban wave. They detected the cheater long before "24h".

Because it is semantics. Does a wave end or does it go on forever? The literal process to ban the identified cheaters was done within 24 hours. You could say the wave lasted 24 hours. No part of the article discusses how long ago they identified the cheaters.

"targeted and banned within 24 hours"

I get told I'm being semantic a noticeable about of times. Must be nice to know what information is apparently inconsequential.
