Impact

Cannot view public logs for this user as a non-admin. Depending on what caused this error, this may or may not have the potential to also affect other users’ logs.

Notes

While I cannot be personally sure, it is possible that this error only started occurring after a log-deletion for this (test) user by a sysop earlier on today. I’ve confirmed onwiki that I’m not the only one experiencing this error.

When searching for another log type or with lower limits it works,

only https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=108404599 is affected

API says someone has tested with a negative (float) duration and that cause now trouble to show as expiry time
