Month 13 out of bounds

Hi all,

I noticed today my RAM is being seriously depleted, getting fan noise which has almost never happened previously, some applications running super slow.

Specs: Macbook air, 13 inch, early 2014, 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB RAM, running 10.13.1.

Checked Activity Monitor. memory usage is at 7.5 of 8 GB (normally it's around 4-5), UserEventAgent is up around 80-90% CPU. Checked Console: getting continuous "Month 13 is out bounds" error messages across many processes.

Checked around online, noticed a few others having same problem (e.g. high sierra - Month 13 is out of bounds? - Ask Different). The suggested work-around there is to change the system date so current date is no longer Dec. This did in fact work, RAM usage back to normal, but it messes up other applications (e.g. dates in FileMaker database), so not really a viable solution.

Anyone else coming across this, have ideas or fixes?

Thanks.

MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014), macOS High Sierra (10.13.1)

For me, the only thing that was installed after Security Update 2017-001 was the Acrobat Reader update that also appears in Roncurl's report.

Update to macOS 10.13.2 and see if that takes care of everything.

Can't be done. Those are critical system security updates.

I'm still seeing "Month 13 out of bounds" in the Console with 10.13.2.

Since the 13 month out of bounds issue is not fixed in 10.13.2 it is back to 10.12.6 for me. No use even looking at HS until . . . if ever

I'm also still seeing "Month 13 out of bounds" errors in the Console with the latest update but the other symptoms (fast running fan and UserEventAgent process) are gone... for now.

I updated, it's same for me, the month 13 messages are still there, but not affecting RAM or GPU, hurrah!

Although the log entry isn't fixed, everybody else is saying the other issues are gone. Apparently the log entries were not the root cause of the CPU / RAM problems.

on my 10.13.2 the UserEventAgenst is still logging "Month 13 out of bounds"...

I do not know any more what to do..😠
