Getting this error when trying to use the date option:

It doesn't matter what date I use or the format of the date, or the source.

@primowalker I saw something similar - I tried the suggestion here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71498132/error-in-heroku-regex-regex-core-error-bad-escape-d-at-position-7-when-usin/71504213#71504213 and it resolved the issue for me.

@rrnarayan1 . I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Oh sorry, late to seeing this issue but that's the same advice I just gave over in #50, and I expect it will fix the issue here too. Closing to consolidate but feel free to reopen here or comment there if you're still having issues!
