@srichansen I have tested with case() evaluation function and rangemap command that whether there are special characters in range label or not, the range value remains the same. PS: rangemap did not accept equal to character = .
So makes me think, is it possible that the latency values were actually changing when you were trying to re-run the search with special characters in the range label?
Please find a run any where example based on Splunk's _internal index for previous day data so that values do not change (I am using date_second as latency to get dummy data between 1-60 )
index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd log_level!="INFO" earliest=-1d@d latest=-0d@d-1s
| stats min(date_second) as latency by component
| rangemap field=latency "lt 10"=0-10 "gt 10 and lt.eq 30"=10-30 "gt 30 and lt.eq 45"=30-45 "gt 45 and lt.eq 60"=45-60
| rename range as rangeWithRangeMapAndAlphaCharacters
| rangemap field=latency "<10"=0-10 ">10 & <30"=10-30 ">30 & <45"=30-45 ">45 & <60"=45-60
| rename range as rangeWithRangeMapAndSpecialCharacters
| eval rangeWithCaseAndAlphaCharacters=case(latency<=10,"lt 10",latency>10 AND latency<=30,"gt 10 and lt.eq 30",latency>30 AND latency<=45,"gt 30 and lt.eq 45",latency>45 AND latency<=60,"gt 45 and lt.eq 60",true(),"None")
| eval rangeWithCaseAndSpecialCharacters=case(latency<=10,"<10",latency>10 AND latency<=30,">10 & <=30",latency>30 AND latency<=45,">30 & <=45",latency>45 AND latency<=60,">45 & <=60",true(),"None")
