Tasks set to "custom repeat' recurring cannot be set to repeat indefinitely

I've noticed this problem since I started using Akiflow - I use a lot of recurring tasks which use the "custom repeat" (e.g. for medications that I take every other day), but for some reason when I schedule these tasks they will be assigned an arbitrary end date, even if I specifically chose for the task's "End" setting to "Never".
How to reproduce this bug:
- Create a new task.
- Click the task, then click the "recurring arrows" button.
- Select "Custom Repeat"
- Select for the task to repeat "Every 3 Days" with "End" set to "Never".
- Apply this to all future tasks.
- Go back and look at the task's recurrence setting - you will see it will be assigned an arbitrary end date in the future (the one I created for this example was set for 1 year from today, but I've seen it vary).
If it helps, I'm on Windows / Android.

Just an update - this behavior seems to occur even for non-custom-repeat tasks - I just set a task to recur daily indefinitely, and for some reason it's set to end in october 2026, one year from today. This really needs to be fixed ASAP, since it could lead to important recurring tasks getting lost.
