Spike, I don't call this 'fixing it'.

They've just reworded it to omit any mention of time.  This is still consistent with the original wording, so anybody reading it will not realise it was wrong.

To fix it, they need to explicitly issue an erratum, saying the previous version was wrong, and it should have said 'per month'.  I doubt that will ever happen now.  :<
