Timeworn maps

[BondEternal]

People have been saying that after you found a map, you will be unable to find another one in the next 18 hours. However, while fishing, I managed to obtain around 4-5 goatskin maps within a 2-hour period.

Hence, shouldn't the lockout actually be for deciphering a map, rather than for finding a map?

No offense, but I'd like to see proof of this. The lockout is most definitely for finding maps, as you can decipher as many as you want (one at a time) either by storing extra maps in your retainers or buying them off the market board.

Did you already have one in your inventory from 18+ hours prior, and got the message that you caught it but couldn't keep the one you just fished up since it's unique, or did you use all 4-5 maps?
