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
