Relative_time is broken for attributes

1

Looks likes relative_time is broken now when working with entity attributes,
I know I can change to “manual” calculation using as_timestamp(now()- … but maybe anyone have better idea before I submit an issue on github?

Yes, that’s odd, for me it works sometimes, i.e.,

relative_time(state_attr( 'vacuum.robo', 'clean_stop'))

Sometimes I see the time in minutes or hours and sometimes I see just the timestamp like this

2020-12-30 12:14:56+02:00

by the way the time stamp itself is:

state_attr( 'vacuum.robo', 'clean_stop') = 2020-12-30 10:14:56
