Power hour
From DFI Wiki

Skill gain is 50% faster in your Power hour. Each character has its own power hour, no matter when the other characters of the account have been online.
Players will experience a power hour for the first hour of play per character within a 24 hour period, which means that technically, the power hour will be refreshed 23 hours after the previous power hour has ended. To help players know when their power hour is in effect, a sound will now be played and a message will be displayed when a player's power hour begins. If a player does not log in for over 24 hours, their power hour will begin as soon as they log in, and last for the full hour.
As an example, a player who logs in at 8:00 PM local time will experience a power hour that will last until 9:00 PM. They will not be able to experience another power hour during that 24 hour period, so they will not receive another power hour until at least 8:00 PM the following day. If they do not log in again until 10:00 PM, they will experience their full power hour, beginning at 10:00 PM and lasting until 11:00 PM. The following day, they will not be able to experience a power hour until at least 10:00 PM local time.
The power hour will also not be able to be broken up into smaller periods of time. Once the power hour has started, it will only extend for the next hour, and will be refreshed 24 hours after the last one begun.
In other words, if a player logs in at 5:00 PM local time and plays for only half an hour, their power hour will still last until 6:00 PM, and will still be refreshed the next day at 5:00 PM. So if that person logs in at 5:00, plays for half an hour, then logs back in again at 8:00, they will not receive another half hour of power hour skill gain, since their power hour would have ended at 6:00 PM (an hour after it began).
Information above is taken from uo.com. Power hour is the first hour every 24h when you login.
Currently you have to logout and log back in for your power hour to begin, provided that your previous power hour has been at least 24 hours ago. When I have time, I'll make it begin automatically if you are online when it is about to begin, instead of needing to relog. I will also add commands for more info, such as when your power hour will begin.
[edit] Server power hour
The power hours are 9(am) and 14(2 pm) GMT. You can see the servertime (gmt) by writing [servertime in-game.
