Welcome to the giant mindfuck that is modern physics. We don’t know! We have hints that time isn’t the logical and linear progression of causes and effects that we observe it to be, and we’re very early in understanding what that actually means.
We don’t even know what “now” is.
As near as I can parse your hypothetical scenario, you would experience 24 hours of time and watch all of the Universe around you (including the black hole) rapidly decay into heat death. Although it gets slightly more complicated because as the black hole evaporates that’ll effect the magnitude of time dilation you experience.

I live in a constant state of nihilism, you're so indifferent to the universe's scope that one cannot simply assume there's a purpose or a "mission". We are just a probability that materialized... The atom soup was just right enough for this to develop. We'll exist, do our thing, stop existing, and the universe won't even skip a beat (I don't think we won't even have been/will be around for enough time for a universe beat to even occur).
If our observations and science are even infinitesimally correct, I believe it to be a win, because IMHO there's A LOT that we are simply unable to observe/study/comprehend. What even is existence and reality itself? Existential SMBH.

The sad part is, we will never uncover the truths of the universe, we will perish before then. Even if we do, I for sure won't be alive at that time.
