Exactly 24 hours between flights -- is it a connection, or a stopover?

[rodkoguma]

QF says connections less than 24 hours is a connection, and more than 24 hours is a stopover.

But what if it is exactly 24 hours? Is that a connection, or a stopover.

This is for a Classic Reward booking on QF.

It’s a stopover.

'Stopover' in relation to:

(a) an Australian domestic Itinerary, means a break of journey at an intermediate point when onward travel does not take place on the same calendar day; and
(b) for all other Itineraries, including those containing a domestic to international connecting flight, means when a passenger arrives at an intermediate point and is not scheduled to depart within 24 hours of arrival;

'Transfer' in relation to:

(a) an Australian domestic Itinerary, means a break of journey at an intermediate point when onward travel takes place on the same calendar day; and
(b) for all other Itineraries, including those containing a domestic to international connecting flight, means when a passenger arrives at an intermediate point and is scheduled to depart within 24 hours of arrival;

I was suspecting it was a stopover...
But the website of course doesn't say 24hours or greater... just "more than 24 hours".

Anything less than 24hrs would be considered a transit.
24hrs and more would be considered a stopover.

I had a rewards booking last year - MEL > HKG and then HKG > CDG.

Initially it was a 37hr gap between arriving in HKG and departing, which then turned into a 22hr gap as I was able to change flight #1 to another one.

My itinerary initially stated "Melbourne to Hong Kong" as the first leg, which then changed to "Melbourne to Paris" when I changed my first flight.
