    I left the editor idle for a while, so the context does not seem to be related to the error messages.

    I'm getting the same error...
    Is it something to do with the new year, because this is getting very annoying(seeing a bunch of errors inside your console)

    I got the same, really annoying. Unfortunately this is hardly the only error that keeps popping up for no good reason. They should really consider adding support for regex filters to disable arbitrary messages in the console.

    I installed 2021.1.0b1 yesterday and didn't see this error up until this morning (1.1.2021) when it popped up. From which I assume a year-switch-related issue maybe?

    I also thing the reason for this error is the same. Trying to resolve it but still can't figure it out.

    I think that some method that Unity uses, expects month in 1-12 range, but Unity returns months in 0-11 range

    Yes this indeed seems to be the case. Setting current date to Feb 1st makes the errors stop.

    It seems to be coming once every min so probably some part of the editor checking for updates or similar. Most likely not harmful and will stop at Feb 1st if not fixed by then.

    They could've at least clamped it within the min and max acceptable values if they didn't test the month indexing...

    Stuff like this really make me wish Unity had some "Always ignore this error" -option. It's not the first time I have wished they had such thing for the console..

    Even if the ignore thing was only valid for that project and engine version, it would make some issues so much easier to tolerate :)

    I think I started to use the collapse option to prevent such errors from flooding the whole log at some point (one can fix errors from available code only).

    I must say, after all these years of using unity, this has to be one of top 5 cuttest.

    I just wish that someday maybe Unity will grow up and adopt the policy of testing their product on a bunch of "test stands" (like 20-30 different projects spanning across all major platforms, render pipelines, DOTS, other major packages) - just opening ALL of them and making sure there is no errors on first open/import and subsequent open.

    I forgot when was the last time I opened a project and didn't see any errors/warnings.. (if ever). Users getting used to ignoring your errors is BAD for everyone - eventually important errors are being skipped, games ship with more bugs and players get crappier games, stigmatizing Unity even more...

    (don't know about others but here in RU, Unity is regarded as kinda of a mark for poor quality games, it's ingrained so deeply in minds, almost impossible to convince them that things have changed... until we get some MAJOR successful blockbuster widely associated with Unity, this won't change..)

    I believe it's scheduled for Wednesday, though as always, it may be held up if QA identify shipstopping issues between now and then.

    I've been getting the same error. It hasn't seemed to affect anything, I think the only thing that will be affected is if you try to reach the system set date. I think Unity thinks we're in the 13th month of 2020, which obviously doesn't exist. My worst nightmare is having to go thru another month of this god-forbidden year..
