(scheduled today) is a malformed query. You should use either (scheduled 0) or (scheduled :on today). Please see the documentation: https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql#datetime-predicates As far as I can tell, there is no example like (scheduled today).

Thank you for the quick response.

My mistake was caused by a mix of an old saved query having this mistake and being biased towards thinking this was similar to the issue about org-ql not supporting date ranges. This made it harder for me to consider my query syntax for this old view could be wrong.

I skimmed the info manual (thanks for including one btw), but I'll try to read it over again with more care next time.
