The violation is committed every 24h. You do not get a bonus/discount for waiting out. It is added to your already amassed fine. The way you count would mean, that on day 5, they would get a ~50% discount in the fine (paying only 800K instead of the amassed 1.55M)
Day 1: 50K -> 50K = 50K locked in
Day 2: 100K -> 100K + 1st day 50K = 150K locked in
Day 3: 200K -> 200K + 2nd day 100K + 1st day 50K = 350K locked in
Day 4: 400K -> 400K + 3rd day 200K + 2nd day 100K + 1st day 50K = 750K locked in
Day 5: 800K -> 800K + 4th day 400K + 3rd day 200K + 2nd day 100K + 1st day 50K = 1.550.000K locked in
