Can you provide an example query which does not work?

I made a mistake. It also works for weeks, but not for months and years.
You can simply use the examples from the quick add magic guide:

Every month
Every 6 months
Every year
Every 2 years

Resolved in 9f604eca79.

Originally, it was possible to specify repeating intervals for months or years. This was actually misleading because the interval would be converted to seconds under the hood, causing all kinds of problems with leap years and months with 30 vs 31 days. Because of that, the options for month and year were removed in 7746d39161 to make it clear what these actually meant.
Now, since we do have a repeating mode "Monthly", this commit changes the behavior to repeat a task monthly when it was specified as "every month", but only that. All other cases were removed from the docs since they are not actually supported.

@sergue2 commented on GitHub (Jun 18, 2024):

this is somewhat impractical because, as you said, each month has a different number of days.
Just out of interest: Why don't you use the date format for these repeating tasks instead of converting everything into seconds?
Background:
We have many tasks that always have to be completed on the 15th of each month, for example.

Could you please clarify where I can find "monthly"? I can only see every XX hours/days/weeks

@sergue2 This is exactly what monthly repeat mode is for. Set it to repeat monthly and it will only increase the month by 1 every time you mark it done.

@hesne Right under the dropdown "Wiederholungsmodus".
