Adding a [date] to a small query causes it to exhaust memory
If I run a simple query in a small ~400x400 meter bounding box, it completes successfully as expected in <2 seconds (link):
[out:json][timeout:180];((node['highway'='residential'](poly:'37.822573 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.233912');(._;>;););(way['highway'='residential'](poly:'37.822573 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.233912');(._;>;););(relation['highway'='residential'](poly:'37.822573 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.233912');(._;>;);););out;
But if I add a [date] (dating back to just a few hours ago) to the otherwise-same query, it runs out of memory after running for ~25 seconds (link):
[out:json][timeout:180][date:'2025-06-22T00:00:00Z'];((node['highway'='residential'](poly:'37.822573 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.233912');(._;>;););(way['highway'='residential'](poly:'37.822573 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.233912');(._;>;););(relation['highway'='residential'](poly:'37.822573 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.233912');(._;>;);););out;
"An error occurred during the execution of the overpass query! This is what overpass API returned: runtime error: Query run out of memory using about 2048 MB of RAM."
If I do the same thing, with the same date filter, but querying for bus stops instead of residential roads, everything works fine (link):
[out:json][timeout:180][date:"2025-06-22T00:00:00Z"];((node['highway'='bus_stop'](poly:'37.822573 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.233912');(._;>;););(way['highway'='bus_stop'](poly:'37.822573 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.233912');(._;>;););(relation['highway'='bus_stop'](poly:'37.822573 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.229358 37.826170 -122.233912 37.822573 -122.233912');(._;>;);););out;
Is this a bug? Why would adding a [date] to that first query exhaust memory, when adding the same [date] to other similar queries works fine?
