I deactivated my Facebook. I had to reactive to get a phone number. Now I can't deactivate it again. Why?

Does anyone know if there is a time limit from when you reactive to when you can deactivate a Facebook account again? I would like to keep the account deactivated, but didn't realize that I would need to log-in to get my friends phone number from an old message.
I have not tried to reactive and deactive multiple times in the last 24 hours, or even in the past year. It has been over 48 hours since I reactivated it and there is still not an option to deactivate.
Unfortunately, I DO need to deactivate this account for work and personal reasons. Social media is not just like e-mail.

you just have to stay 24 hours to deactivate it again if you had tried several times of activating and deactivating within the last 24 hours. that might be the reason.

You don't need to deactivate, just stop using it, 6 months or 6 years later you can pick up where you left.
JUST LIKE emails.
