But if you’re unlucky enough to be a Mac user in the month of December, 2017, then you’ll probably be seeing a lot of “Month 13 is out of bounds” messages in your Console. And by ‘a lot,’ I mean an exceedingly excessive never-ending stream of spewage… Thousands and thousands and thousands of them—I’m getting anywhere from two to 20 per second, continuously.

Benjamin Mayo:

The plot thickens. Similar logs are generated by my iOS 11.2 iPhone, which is up-to-date. It seems like Apple patched over the Springboard crashing but the underlying calendar logic is still broken somewhere.

Tim:

I’m getting this and it is causing UserEventAgent to consume all my cpu and RAM. Only solution is to set the date back until November.

William Osman:

My MacBook Pro was rinsed by UserEventAgent. Took full use of CPU and memory. I had to force quit it within Activity Monitor every ten minutes to keep laptop running.

Alexandre Colucci:

’Month 13 is out of bounds’: The official CoreFoundation ‘__CFYMDFromAbsolute’ source code is available online. You can see the new ‘ASSERT_VALID_MONTH’ define causing all the ‘Month 13 is out of bounds’ logs.

Update (2017-12-06): Stuart Breckenridge:

It’s appearing at least 20 times per second and other than disabling Bluetooth, I haven’t found a way to stop it.

Update (2017-12-08): Gus Mueller:

Wait, 10.13.2 didn’t fix the Month 13 is out of bounds problem?

Update (2018-01-01): James Thomson:

I hate to tell you… it’s January here and Month 13 is still out of bounds.

Update (2018-02-06): Zeeshaan Aamir:
