No, you have to end the trip on monday 23:59. 

Except there are new rules, I had the same thing 2019.

My understanding currently is that it is the date you start your train ride that counts, so you should be able to catch an overnight train on the last day of your pass.

No-EXCEPT that the last and final time to have completed all trips is at 23.59 of the last day-on that day NO ride-out allowance. This has in fact always been the case since 10s of years

Same here in Germany with the 9€ ticket-it is now warned many places it also ends 23.59-even if train is delayed (very common here)-and not till end of service, as is usual in other cases. How this will be applied however remains to be seen.

On the last day of your pass, you can only travel until 23:59. Even if you take a night train.

@Nanja, I think it would be good to explain that on the "What is a travel day” pages:
