Hi Rosh89 ，
this is expected behavior:
The reason is this:
- subscriptions are executed by the Power BI service as a background job, using the owner's locale.
- The owner locale is the one specified in the settings as one of the 44 currently supported languages: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/fundamentals/supported-languages-countries-regions

And refer the following article:

Hi v-luwang-msft ,
Understood now. Powerbi service accepts US english only and it can only be corrected when I change to another language which follows DD-MM-YYY format.
Many thanks!
