Yes, it happens if the date is less than 48 hour ago. (or for dates in the future, until the ‘end of tomorrow’ in your timezone)

You can control it with the `calendar=` variable

### Default

```plaintext
[date=2020-02-04 time=18:00:00 timezone="Europe/London"]

```

2020-02-04T18:00:00Z

### With calendar=off

```plaintext
[date=2020-02-04 time=18:00:00 timezone="Europe/London" calendar=off]

```
