If I change an OSC statement, when does it actually start working?

I just got my Apex Lite and I'm using it to top off my water. I don't have a float yet, so I'm using an OSC statement. I did some math to see where I had to start. After one day, I could see I had figured out a little too much water to be added. I changed my statement to add less water but at the end of the day when I checked again, it was still adding too much.

Does it go to the new statement at midnight or does it start working right away to add less water? If it's midnight, that would let me know I have to wait a day to see any effects, or if it's right away, I will know where I'm at sooner.

It recalculates immediately from midnight, so it should begin adding less right away. Evaporation is not necessarily constant, so this method may be less than ideal.
