what does 'No overnight parking' mean exactly?

I've seen 'No overnight parking' signs on pay and display posts.
Does it mean you can not park there for the whole night, or does
it mean you can not park at any time during the night? And what
time is considered the start and end of the night?
Thanks!

I presume you mean in private car parks. The only way to know is
to read the terms on the signage.

As regards on-street, 'No overnight parking' is not a permitted
expression neither is it a permitted variant of a prescribed
sign.

Be careful because it's not just private car parks which operate
under Ts and Cs, so do those provided by councils.

Presumably the council signs in Bedfordshire are there to stop
lorries parking overnight? The parking prohibition signs on the
A20 in Kent are time-specific, the >7.5T yellow box with an
addition sign 18.40-2400, and 0001-0630.

Yes, it's >5t 7pm - 7am to stop fridge units running at night.
There are several supermarket distribution centres nearby.
