Eurail/Interrail 7-day pass – Overnight train counts as 1 or 2 travel days?

Quick question about the Eurail/Interrail 7 days in 1 month pass:

Are travel days counted as calendar days (00:00–23:59), or 24 hours from activation?

If I travel overnight from Berlin to Paris (depart March 2 night, arrive March 3 morning), does that use 1 travel day or 2?

Does it change if there’s a train transfer after midnight? For example I board a train at Berlin at March 2 night and then there is a transfer at 06:00am from mannheim on March 3, then how many days it will consider.

Thanks!

As you can see on this page, a travel day is from 0:00 until 23:59 and a night train only uses one travel day. If you change after midnight, you need another travel day (or buy a ticket).

Basically, you need a valid travel day if you board a train and then you can stay on that train, even after midnight, without needing another travel day.
