@psie At a guess, because the format was written by someone who used American-style date formatting (which is fine if you write the date in a long format with the month spelled out - "September 10, 2024", but ambiguous if you just use numbers - "09/10/24" - is it 9th of October, or September 10th?). You can look at
tex.stackexchange.com/q/376782 for other suggestions on how to format, as well.
