I am sure there was a period where the timings were changing (or my memory has stabilised lol) and they do seem to have settled down to something more sensible.
I thought I remembered base repair being a 24 hour timer, and base points being a 4 hour timer - but I'm probably wrong. We had a base battle very early in the piece with the Knights Who Say Ni and managed to hold out for most of it before running out of points. We had used our repair too freely, never having been really pressed to fight before, and not knowing the recharge timers even existed much less how long they took.
Maybe it's just the bad memory of the experience that's warped my perception
