When I attempt to filter for those exact states (using either the short

This thing about sacct trips a lot of people (including me) up at
various times. There's a section in the man page about it:
https://slurm.schedmd.com/sacct.html#SECTION_DEFAULT-TIME-WINDOW
For your use case:

So short version is you need to specify an end time - here's an example
of your command from one of our small test systems.
17:39:16 csamuel@muller-mgr:~> sacct -a -S 2026-01-26
--format=JobID,State --state=completed -n | wc -l
0
17:39:20 csamuel@muller-mgr:~> sacct -a -S 2026-01-26
--format=JobID,State --state=completed -n --end=NOW | wc -l
1226
Hope that helps!
All the best,
Chris
