Thanks for reaching here. Could you please confirm if the worker is running in 32 bit mode, you may be limited on what dates can be used due to the resulting integer size.
You can check this via Configuration > General settings > Platform settings > Platform : 32 bit/64 bit.
Ref : https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
The valid range of a timestamp is typically from Fri, 13 Dec 1901 20:45:54 UTC to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 UTC. (These are the dates that correspond to the minimum and maximum values for a 32-bit signed integer.)
For 64-bit versions of PHP, the valid range of a timestamp is effectively infinite, as 64 bits can represent approximately 293 billion years in either direction.
Also could you confirm if it works for a earlier date?
Let us know.
