If one misses the 'Asr prayer, his deeds are nullified: Is the nullification of deeds for that day only, or for all his deeds?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says: In the hadith that contains:
for whoever misses the 'Asr prayer, all his good deeds will be in vain. من فاتته صلاة العصر حبط عمله
Sunan Ibn Majah 694Sahih (Darussalam)
Does the nullification here apply to the deeds of the day on which he missed the 'Asr prayer, or to all his deeds?

The Shaykh : The scholars have differed in tracing the source of this hadith. Some say that this indicates the disbelief of the one who leaves the 'Asr prayer, because the nullification of deeds does not occur except through apostasy. Some say that his deeds are nullified, meaning that if he prays it, it will not be accepted, but rather it is nullifying. And some say that his deeds for that day only are nullified. Yes.
