Do you still have any of the reports open? I might have some debug info. This appears to be an error with consecutive months with 31 days.

Jan 2024 - Nov 2023 example (both cases show "2 months 1 day"):

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2024-01-30+to+2023-11-2...

Aug 2024 - Jun 2024 example (same bug):

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2024-08-31+to+2024-06-2...

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2024-08-30+to+2024-06-2...

The same thing doesn't happen from Jul 2024 - May 2024 (results vary by 1 day):

Depends on the calendar system, as far as this discussion goes, the Greogorian calendar system is solar even for months.

This is fascinating. Even sillier example, https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2019-01-31+to+2016-04-0... and https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=2019-01-30+to+2016-04-0...

both show an identical duration of 2 years 9 months 26 days (edit: despite reporting 1032 and 1031 days respectively).

If you look at the actual FA, it cites the article from mamavation. That is literally the first link, in the FA.

You could just keep guessing words which have all grayed out letters. The only way this version works is using the 'hard' mode.
I think the article is on Frieghtliners not firefighting trucks. But robbery is still absolutely an issue.
