No, we have confirmed that shorter rests are effective. We also have confirmed that it is a "proportional" system rather than all or nothing, in that you can rest for a short while and recover a fraction of your total mana back. It is also confirmed that mana recovers over time even if you are not resting.

But actually resting (and especially meditating) are significantly more effective for mana recovery than not resting. It can be assumed that certain kinds of strenuous activity (like combat) would drop your mana recovery to zero.

Of course, that's just how mana works in the New World, while it should be similar to how it worked in Yggdrasil (for Teir Magic, anyway) it's not certain. However, we've seen no mention of things like mana recovery potions.
