This is a common question from Power BI novices.
Power Bi will "remember" the slicers settings when you publish a report and will always default to those settings.

So if you publish a report with slicer =08Jan2024 today, then it will alway default to 8Jan2024 in future.

A common solution is to add new column in Power Query with if date = current month then "Current Month" else month. Then use this date in your slicer with "Current Month" as default.

Each time your Power BI data refeshes the date will move forward.
