Okay, so, I can insert a time-date thing for tomorrow afternoon:
```
[date=2021-01-06 time=14:00:00 timezone="America/New_York"]
```
2021-01-06T19:00:00Z
and that works very nicely, currently showing me:
Then I notice the “recurring” option in the advanced part of the dialog, and this happens to be an event that repeats every two weeks, so I do:
```
[date=2021-01-06 time=14:00:00 timezone="America/New_York" recurring="2.weeks"]
```
2021-01-06T19:00:00Z
which, on _this_ server gives me tomorrow as expected (right now, same “Tomorrow 2:00 PM”) but the same line on _my_ hosted discourse instance gives me:
Which is odd! Why doesn’t this work?
And it gets weirder. If I use
```
[date=2021-01-12 time=14:00:00 timezone="America/New_York" recurring="2.weeks"]
```
I get “January 26, 2021 2:00 PM” — two weeks later — but if I add a day:
```
[date=2021-01-13 time=14:00:00 timezone="America/New_York" recurring="2.weeks"]
```
I get “January 31, 2021 2:00 PM”, and it seems like the error compounds from there. If I give it August 1st, November 25th comes back! If I give 3000-01-01, I get July 14, 3489.
What’s going on here?

Oh, and for bonus weirdness, hourly repeats don’t work either on my site or here. If I do:
```
[date=2021-01-05 time=14:00:00 timezone="America/New_York" recurring="1.hours"]
[date=2021-01-05 time=14:00:00 timezone="America/New_York" recurring="2.hours"]
[date=2021-01-05 time=14:00:00 timezone="America/New_York" recurring="3.hours"]
[date=2021-01-05 time=14:00:00 timezone="America/New_York" recurring="4.hours"]
[date=2021-01-05 time=14:00:00 timezone="America/New_York" recurring="5.hours"]
```
Like this:
2021-01-05T19:00:00Z
2021-01-05T19:00:00Z
2021-01-05T19:00:00Z
2021-01-05T19:00:00Z
2021-01-05T19:00:00Z
what I actually get is this (image):
I’m not sure less-than-a-day repeats are actually useful, but since the dialog says they’re an option, I’d expect them to work.

Already reported and fixed in [Recurring date is showing wrong next date](https://meta.discourse.org/t/recurring-date-is-showing-wrong-next-date/173852), which is why it’s working here on meta. If you update to the latest version I’m sure the issue will be fixed on your instance as well. 🙂

Hmm, the hour repetitions are definitely still bugged, though.

Is it normal for updates to land on meta here and then be rolled out to hosted instances later?

Yeah, but I have no idea how long the typical delay is.
