Taskwarrior creates recurring tasks way into the future, if certain conditions are met:
$ task waiting balance
ID Age D P Project R Wait for Due Description
794 2d H finances R 2017-12-22 2.7 years 2015-04-25 balance expenseregister checken
This task was created with a wait date 2.7 years into the future. This seems to be the case because the parent task had a wait date set by setting a wait date on another child task earlier and answering "y" to the "Do you want to modify all pending recurrences of this same task? (yes/no)" question. When creating a new child task, recur.cpp then calculates (old_wait - old_due) with the values from the parent task, and uses this as the wait date for the newly created child task. This amounts , in this case, to 2.7y.
