If you go back to calendar version 4.4.5 all entries are back/shown.

Thanks for your bug report 👍

I've worked on two patches, which are also scheduled for the upcoming releases of Nextcloud 28 (2024-05-23) and Nextcloud 29 (2024-05-23), to address some issues regarding the upcoming events widget.

1. Bring back events from subscribed calendars: Expose subscription calendars server#44752

2. Fix an issue with reoccurrence: CalDAV fix search with limit and time range server#45222

The birthday calendar uses reoccurrence and therefore, I think the second patch could also help for your case.

Do you happen to remember if the widget showed the birthdays for the first seven of your contacts (ordered by their birthdate)? E.g You have 7 contacts with birthday in Jan, and another one in Feb. Those with birthday in Jan should work the others not.

Thank you and stay tuned!

Please log a fresh issue if your issue is still there with Nextcloud 28.0.6 or Nextcloud 29.0.0.1.

I missed the merge window for 28.0.6 and 29.0.1.
They are scheduled now for 28.0.7 and 29.0.2 29.0.3.

The releases are out and I will therefore close the report.

Please let me know if it's still broken on your end.
