I think he meant to say to charge the phone overnight and then start using the phone as it starts to calculate the battery running cycle.
IIRC, the 24 hour count for each day is from 00:00 to 23:59 of the same day. It doesn't care about your charge state at all and just calculates how much battery cycle you've spent on that 24 hour time frame. Say you use your phone like mad gaming for 18 hours out of 24 hours, you will charge your phone two or three times on the same day, your battery usage should reach or even exceed 200% (2 full battery cycles) with 18 hour activity usage. OTOH, you use your phone normally for 6 hours out of 24 hours of the day, you charge your phone multiple times 70-90% for 3 times (shallow charge and discharge cycle), your overall battery usage will still be 60% of your complete battery cycle with overall activity of 6 hours on that 00:00 to 23:59 time frame of that day.
It seems that the issue is that 81% of the battery was used since it was last fully charged at 6 AM, but the battery stats are showing that less than 75% of the battery was used up since midnight.
I don't pay attention to those stats - I never look at them. It's not like that info will be helpful.
The time to replace a battery is when you notice that a full charge doesn't last very long - AND the battery is over two years old. Any battery younger than two years old isn't going to be worn out.

The information can certainly be helpful if there's some app or service that is using more battery than expected, for example.
