Deductions & credits
No, it is not correct. You are correct in that you need to enter the number of days the property was rented. Additionally, you need to enter information regarding the percentage of business use for the property. Therefore, go back into the Rental Property section, and select Edit next to your property. On the screen where you can Review Your Rental Summary, select Assets/Depreciation.
As you work your way through the Asset/Depreciation section, you should see the screen Tells Us More About This Rental Asset. On that screen you will have the option, among other things, to enter the percentage of business use for your rental property. Near the end of this section, on the Asset Summary screen, you can view the details about your rental property. The correct amount of depreciation should be visible and reported on your return.

After further review, and in light of the fact that your intention was not to take the rental property out of service, then you can claim depreciation for the entire year of 2022, (not just the four months the property was rented).
While your property was being renovated, it can be fairly characterized as "idle property," and IRS guidance with regard to idle properties allows depreciation to continue while the property remains idle.
