We’ve created an absence type for hourly sickness. The issue is that the API does not allow booking an absence until midnight.

• The system does not allow bookings that cross midnight.
• It also does not allow an absence booking to _end exactly at midnight (00:00).
• However, in the Attendance API, this does work — we can book until midnight.

Example request that works for Attendance but fails for Absence:

{
  "person": {
    "id": "..."
  },
  "starts_from": {
    "date_time": "2025-08-19T23:00:00"
  },
  "ends_at": {
    "date_time": "2025-08-20T00:00:00"
  },
  "absence_type": {
    "id": "..."
  },
  "comment": "Test"
}

Expected behavior:
Absence bookings should behave consistently with Attendance bookings. It should be possible to book hourly sickness until midnight (23:00 → 00:00).

Actual behavior:

• Request fails when booking absence until 00:00.
• Same time range works fine in Attendance API.

Impact:

• I cannot accurately record late-night sickness absences.
• Causes inconsistency between Attendance and Absence APIs.
