Dashboards & Visualizations

How come the dashboard panel time token is not populating in the title as expected?

I have a single value dashboard panel that counts the number of hosts by IP address. I am listing the time range of the search in the title of the panel using $earliest_d$ and $latest_d$ tokens. For some unknown reason, only $latest_d$ is working and displaying the end time of the search. I am going in circles trying to figure out why the earliest time field isn't loading as expected.

Change <earliest>-d@d</earliest> to <earliest>-1d@d</earliest>, this worked for me.

Why it wouldn't work with -d vs -1d is a mystery. Thank you, this worked perfectly, thank you!
