For a mobile Pass, the validity of the Pass can be found in the 'My Pass' tab under the 'Validity Period' section in the Rail Planner app.

A travel day is a 24-hour period in which you can travel on trains with your Eurail Pass. It lasts from 00:00 (midnight) to 11:59 pm (23:59) on the same calendar day. On each travel day, you have access to the train networks in which your Eurail Pass is valid.

With a Continuous Pass, such as the 1 month continuous Pass, every day in the validity period is a travel day, so you can travel by train every day, if you like. With a Flexi Pass, such as the 5 days in 1 month Pass, you pick and choose which days you would like to use as travel days.
