Possible Date Rendering Bug in iPadOS Office 365 update Aug 3 Version 2.112.3

In Word and Excel for iPadOS, the Recent Files in List View displays a bare integer where the relative time label should appear. A file shows 0 immediately after being opened, increments through several intervals over the course of the same day, and continues to increment beyond one day. Any older files opened since the update are rendered as bare integers.

Initially attributed this to iPad's battery dying with a workbook open. A second iPad developed the identical symptom independently, with no battery event or crash of any kind.. The onset on both devices tracks with the Microsoft 365 apps updating, not with the battery incident. (iPadOS Office 365 update Aug 3 Version 2.112.3)

Device-level remedies have been exhausted with no effect, which is not what one would expect from local damage caused by a crash. iOS AND macOS VERSIONS REMAIN UNAFFECTED. The pattern suggests the app is calculating the correct time interval but failing to retrieve the accompanying text label, printing only a numeric value in its place.

SCOPE

• Word and Excel on iPadOS, List View only
• Thumbnail/Icon view shows correct, accurate timestamps for the same files
• Reproduced on two separate iPads
• iPhone, macOS, and the OneDrive app are unaffected
• Affects entries regardless of storage path (OneDrive-synced or opened locally through the Files app)
• The underlying timestamp data is intact. It renders correctly in thumbnail view, in OneDrive, on macOS, and on iOS. Only the iPadOS List View label is affected.

ALREADY RULED OUT

• Changing the app language to French and to German: no change, indicating the fault is not locale-specific.
• Full deletion and reinstallation of Word, Excel, and OneDrive together, with a device restart between removal and reinstall.
• Signing out of and back into my Microsoft account; signing into a separate MS account.
• Removing the affected entries from the Recent list via Word and Excel on macOS: No effect on either iPad.
• Reset All Settings, time zone changes, calendar format changes, and an iPadOS reinstall via Recovery Mode.

Given that this reproduces on two devices and survives a full reinstall of both the apps and the operating system, I believe this needs to go to the iPadOS product team rather than further device-level troubleshooting.
