Last 24 Hours or Trailing 24 Hours

Hi, resurrecting this old thread to check something. The Hourly Collection stats as of 2019 show Last 24 Hours, Trailing 24 Hours and Trailing 7 days.

collection

If Last 24 Hours means current time to 24 hours ago, and Trailing 24 Hours means 24 hours ago to 48 hours ago, then what exactly does Trailing 7 days mean in the context of an hourly collection graph?

Is it an hour by hour average of the 7x 24 hour periods from 48 hours ago to 216 hours (9 days) ago? Or is it an hour by hour average of the 5x 24 hour periods from 48 hours to 168 hours (7 days) ago? Or is it an hour by hour average of the last 7x 24 hour periods from the current time to 168 hours (7 days) ago? Or something else?

Thanks.
