Locked Filters different between localhost live site

Hi there,

my locked filters behave differently on my dev machine, and on the live site:

[details]
On my dev machine, I successfully filter my category page via menu item > locked filters > 16##now-12m---
Where "16" is the id of my date field (both installations), and "now-12m---" locally shows contents from tha past 12 months into the future, but produces an empty page live.

It does, however, when i change the locked filter value to something absolute like "16##2010-01-01 00:00---2023-12-31 00:00"

Do I have to enable some php setting?

[php]
local = 8.2.14
live = 8.2.27

[joomla]
4.4.9
