[Star Wars] how long does it take for the Death Star to recharge? Can it go pew-pew and shoot down ships?

The first Death Star needed 24 hours between shots due to the technical limitations requiring that the superlaser always be fired at full power. The second Death Star was built with the intention of fixing many technical issues that plagued its predecessor. The most notable fix was including the ability to modulate the superlaser's intensity so that it could fire on both planets and capital ships. The lower power needed for destroying capital ships meant that it could be fired once every few minutes.
