My guess it that it means that they are "working on 24 days in 7 months of the year". Like their guaranteed uptime of 99.95% p.a. means that a server can be taken offline for ~100+ hours without bothering about collateral damage. Arithmetically, 99.95% are 4.38 hrs p.a., so by their redefinition they might be using a year with 8333 days.

However, the sites are up again after ~5 days downtime. OVH did *not* fix the IPMI issue that caused the intervention, and as far as I can tell, they did not even set up a spare server as promised. They just 'allowed' me to boot the kernel again which was running until Dec 6th.

Though it's not all bad at OVH. My DB host has an uptime of 1065 days

Ah ha. OVH must be using the Lithuanian calendar to be able to have 24/7 and close weekends.

Lithuanian calendar shows some similarities with Slavic calendar, and so may have roots in Proto-Balto-Slavic era.
The Gediminas Sceptre, discovered in 1680, indicates that during his reign the year started in April and was divided into 12 months, varying in length from 29 to 31 days. Each month began with a new moon; the weeks were nine days long [2] The month names on this artifact are expressed in symbols, based on natural phenomena and agricultural cycles.[3] (i.e. the sidereal month was divided into three parts).[4]

There will not be a timely fix, if any. My "Enterprise level" hosting plan for "professional usage" at OVH with "24/7 support" and "guaranteed 99.95% availabiliy" is now closed for the weekend. That's what you get at OVH for €250/month.
