The help page for bounties says:
The bounty period lasts 7 days. Bounties must have a minimum duration of at least 1 day.
Does this mean I can manually award a bounty after 24 hours have elapsed?

Yes. One day after the bounty is started, you may award it to any answer you choose by clicking the blue bounty number (e.g. "+100") next to it. You may not award the bounty until that full day has elapsed. The age of the answer receiving the bounty does not matter.

Thanks. I was worried I missed a deadline to start a bounty for the "Philantropist" hat. As an aside this question should get "The Hatter" but I don't have it yet ... I suppose I need an upvote ...– DavidPostill ModCommented Jan 2, 2017 at 22:23
Yes. There's a short, one day wait, then anytime within 7 days and a 24 hour grace period.
