I feel like that’s unit confusion. Converting from year to day should require you to specify what calendar year you’re in to resolve the ambiguity. Otherwise I set an alarm for today + 1 year and things are off by 6 hours.

Time is nasty because there’s lots of overloaded concepts and bugs hide in the implicit conversions between meanings.

I’m also kinda curious what the underlying type is. Is it a double or do they use arbitrary precision math and take the perf hit.
