friends posts (activitypub) not being requested

I have this bizarre problem. when i refresh the feed of a user, i get new posts. but it won’t do that automatically, and the debug gives 2024-10-11 19:26:49: Found 20 new posts. Will be fetched again at 2025-10-11 19:26:36. which is, 2 hours earlier than it ran, and also, uh, a year in the future.
