For main patches, it will likely be the full 24 hours (4.4 is a main patch with lots of new content coming). It may end an hour or two early, but I would expect the game to be down the entire day. Main patches usually take the entire maintenance duration compared to hotfix patches or sub-patches, which maintenance may end early.
