Follow-Up Etiquette, That Serious?

Whenever reaching out to new people via email I usually send a follow up email 24 after the original email sent. But in this situation I accidentally sent one same day (I usually have a follow-up email scheduled to send following 24 hours but miss-clicked and scheduled it same day and didn’t double check).

Analyst reached out to schedule a time to chat but also said its “inappropriate to follow-up same day.” I feel really ashamed and disappointed that I made a simple mistake like that.

Is follow-up etiquettes that serious?
