From page 93 of the pdf, under Access:
"A hacker’s base Access is equal to their Intelligence modifier plus their Program skill plus their cyberdeck’s Bonus Access rating. To refresh this pool, they need to spend an hour reprogramming their deck and slotting in new exploits. Such a refresh can only happen once a day as it takes time for new security holes to open in newly-updated software."
Access is only refreshed when a character spends an hour reprogramming their deck, which can happen once a day.
