We analyze the largely accepted formulas for the asymptotic quasi-normalfrequencies of the non-extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole, (for theelectromagnetic-gravitational/scalar perturbations). We focus on the questionof whether the gap in the spacing in the imaginary part of the QNM frequencieshas a well defined limit as n goes to infinity and if so, what is the value ofthe limit. The existence and the value of this limit has a crucial importancefrom the point of view of the currently popular Maggiore's conjecture, whichrepresents a way of connecting the asymptotic behavior of the quasi-normalfrequencies to the black hole thermodynamics. With the help of previous resultsand insights we will prove that the gap in the imaginary part of thefrequencies does not converge to any limit, unless one puts specificconstraints on the ratio of the two surface gravities related to the twospacetime horizons. Specifically the constraints are that the ratio of thesurface gravities must be rational and such that it is given by two relativelyprime integers N, M, whose product is an even number. If the constraints arefulfilled the limit of the sequence is still not guaranteed to exist, but if itexists its value is given as the lowest common multiplier of the two surfacegravities. At the end of the paper we discuss the possible implications of ourresults.
