This person is probing an API which is already down so of course there are errors.
Robinhood would be using a proper date library anyway to handle timezones. The system was fine on the 29th, 1st and even this morning pre-market. Seems more like a capacity issue that cascaded into failure.

The 2nd was a Wednesday four years ago. That wouldn’t make any sense for a leap year error. Why wouldn’t it have gone down on the Monday two days prior?
