as soon as possible/promptly, but no later that within 24 hours,
Explanation:
This is the usual phrasing. It also makes logical sense.

The NCTA standards require the cable operator to respond to service interruptions promptly, but no later than within 24 hours, and other service problems within

Explanation:
Звучит, действительно, странно, но это обычное словосочетание. Может быть, первые два часа в обмороке лежал, а потом позвонил:-)

An Academic Link representative will get back with you immediately or no later than the next day classes are in session.

Здесь подразумевается невозможность оповестить всех сразу даже при наличии цифровых технологий, или время на формулировку и обоснование, объяснение. Может быть, и поговорить нужно, индивидуальный подход. В общем, не пожарная тревога.

neutral  Oleg Lozinskiy: Может все-таки 'but', а не 'or' (чтобы определить 'растяжимость' понятия 'immediately')? Или 'but not later than 0 a.m. of the next day/12 p.m. of the current day'? (Исходник дает основания для различных толкований.)

  -> Спасибо, Олег. Честно, не думаю, что это принципиально, но контекст менее жесткий, чем приказ или закон.
agree  Ravindra Godbole
7 hrs
  -> Thank you, Ravindra.
agree  The Misha: No butts:) "Immediately but no later than" makes no logical sense in any language. This is just sloppy writing by a not very competent individual, which means it needs to be put "in ordnung" by a responsible party such as the translator:)
