First thing first, If you do not need the retention period more than 35 days, Continuous backups works perfectly fine.
This document "https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-deleting-snapshot.html#ebs-deleting-snapshot-incremental" explains the how deleting a snapshot or recovery point works with illustrations. The same methodology works for S3 when it comes to recovery point expiry.
To answer your question in one simple sentence, what ever data stored in Snapshot on day 1 that were referenced by later time have now been moved to subsequent snapshots.
After Day 1 recovery point expired you will not loose ability to recover to any point in time within ALL 10 subsequent days whatever data is required to create a full S3 recovery will be moved to day2 snapshot.
When you see Backup console after Day1 recovery point expired you will see new restore time as day2.
