And he said, “Tomorrow.” Moses said, “Be it as you say, so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.
Pharaoh asked for delay until tomorrow not from any calm mind, but as a trick: once relieved of the frogs, he would break his word. Moses, assured by the Spirit's secret direction, promised relief anyway; and God removed the plague the same day, for by nightfall Pharaoh's fear had cooled and his promise evaporated.

God chose contemptible frogs to strike down a haughty king, magnifying His power over all creation and humbling Pharaoh's pride. What a mortification for a monarch to be forced to his knees by creatures a child can master, yet whose numbers made all his chariots and horsemen helpless.
