That would be laughable.
There's no way he could possibly know if they paid the fine within one day, unless he demanded the gold be sent directly to him.
And again, as several have said: if one of them logged in after, say, 31 hours, and said, "Um, yeah, weekend, wasn't on" then RPed contrition and sent the gold, yeah, we'd generally expect him to be "let off," as if he had logged on within the 24 hours.
We can change it another way to see this:
"The following nobles are hereby named enemies of House Solari, the nobility of Solaria, and aggressors against free peoples everywhere. Each of them owes Solaria a debt of honor to be repaid in blood. There will be no negotiating the price, no adjustment of the terms. Failure to repay the debt will only result in my having to collect it. They have thirty seconds."
Is this an IR violation? IMHO, no. It's obviously been structured so that it will not be fulfilled.
Honestly, I would regard 3 days as worse, from a player's perspective: it makes you feel like you really could have done something, and extends your pain over 3 days.
