Based on the wording of the rules, that 24hr window is only applicable from the time the intent is stated therefore stating it within the 48hr window does not add any additional buffer.

Technically, if you state the intent an hour before the 48 hours ends, you get a buffer. But I suppose that doesn't count when he's already said his intent, so fair point.
