Technically, nothing stops us from interpreting 2024-05--1 as "last day of month 05". But the nice thing about interpreting it as previous month is that it works "magically" with non-Org Elisp APIs like `parse-time-string': (parse-time-string "2024-09--1") is able to parse the date. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
