I understand the design could be to facilitate weekly ranking calculation. But I don't think ranking matters if there are no ranking rewards - not everyone is able to be around at UTC23:59 to join / start a long altar.
Would suggest for ranking calculation to happen weekly based on whatever points players have cashed in before reset (ignoring ongoing altars) and removing the rest day entirely.

I was about to create a similar thread.
As time goes by, we will eventually have 24h+ altars.
If rest day is just to simplify ranking, it could be removed without too much trouble and, even if ranking is not accurate, since this is only for likes, it does not matter a lot.
Trying to have a near 100% uptime on others altar requires europeans to be awake at 2am 2 days in a row, removing rest day would make it much easier
