Hi there! I see you're having an issue with date handling in Vapi where it's passing 2023 instead of 2025. I can't determine exactly why this specific call is using 2023 without seeing your full configuration, but I can confirm this is a known issue in Vapi and provide some troubleshooting steps. According to the information I found, there are several known date handling issues in Vapi, including dates defaulting to incorrect years. Specifically, one user reported that "Vapi was taking 2024 as the reference year and not updating even when the current year (2025) was added to the prompt" and another user reported that "the date defaults to 2023 instead of 2025" [source](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1335336931395108895). Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try: 1. Add the current date explicitly in your system prompt. One user fixed a similar issue by "putting a statement at the beginning and switching the model to gpt-4o" [source](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1334271734332784773). Try adding something like:

The current date is {{"now" | date: "%A, %B %d, %Y", "America/New_York"}} and the time is {{"now" | date: "%I:%M %p", "America/New_York"}}

2. Use separate variables for date, time, and day in your prompt [source](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1341751641547870281):

Current date: {{ "now" | date: "%B %d, %Y", "YourTimezone"}}
   Current time: {{ "now" | date: "%I:%M %p", "YourTimezone"}}
   Day of the week: {{ "now" | date: "%A", "YourTimezone"}}

3. Check your date format to ensure it's compatible with Vapi's expected input. The format

YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+HH:MM

is used in some Vapi responses [source](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1330221332452999321).

yes i already switch to gpt 4o ,but now it showing 2024 instead. still not 2025

Hey @thevin11, can you share the call ID? What you've shared is a Tool call ID, which won't help me. Instead, I need the call ID which you can get by visiting the VAPI dashboard, then the Observe section, and finally the log page. In the log page, you will find all of the call IDs. Just share the recent call IDs so I could take a look.

okay

tool name: _checkAvailability

response: Accepted

Hey Thevin, You are returning a response name'response' value as accepted instead of you need to return the response in the required format which needs the tool call id as well as the result. The result is supposed to be a string type without any line breaks or new lines. I am dropping the documentation link below which guides you exactly how you are expected to return the result for the tool call.

hi @Shubham Bajaj , are you talking about this? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1355735302865420519/1356283922316660876/Screenshot_2025-03-31_230743.png?ex=67ec0155&is=67eaafd5&hm=01d2dc46df63ee0fe12c605a0aa0b12f870046314d74e694620e724329100707&

Yes, I am talking about this one only, but you are returning excepted instead
