In Idaho, the 3-day notice to pay rent or quit gives the tenant 3 days. Paying the full amount inside the period stops the eviction, by statute.

Idaho Code § 6-303(2), (3): The notice must state the amount due and tell the tenant that, after a judgment, a residential tenant has 72 hours to remove belongings. Paying the rent within the three days saves the lease.

Every field is optional; a blank one prints as a line to write on. The notice is in English, as it is served in the US.
