I was playing around with the Events Module & configured a List View.  I added a birthday Event and made it recurring through 2020.  Then, I configured the following settings on the List View:

View:

Next  events from current date
    within the nextdays

 

I expected to see only one instance of the Recurring Event (that which is within 365 days).  Instead, I saw 10 instances of the annual birthday (even though 9 are outside the 365 day limit).  Am I misunderstanding how the "within the next 365 days" filter is supposed to work?   Thanks for the help.

I have the same problem.

Ditto, and it's a big problem for me.  I have a weekly recurring event on a child calendar that rolls up to a parent calendar in listview that's configured to show only the next seven days' events.  That weekly recurring event appears 20 times in the list view, even though it occurs only one time within the next seven days.  The "within the next_days" filtration doesn't seem to work in list view on recurring events.

I have talked about this in other posts. There is no easy solution. The majority of users rarely use recurring events so this problem likely will not appear for them.

Here is the problem:
The list view doesn't know in advance what Events might reoccur so it retrieves all Events for the next year. Recurring Events are retrieved based only on their first occurrence date.

Unfortunately if your first recurrence date starts before the listing date it is very possible that it will be completely missed and not shown or if your first recurring event ends within the date range unwanted future events might appear.

Worse for me was the performance hit. I needed a calendar that handles thousands of recurring events. All the Event views were grabbing many thousands of extra records then checking each one for recurrence. I ended up doing total rewrite of recurrence and the way Events are stored and retrieved.
