Cartier - Temperamental Pasha big date

Temperamental Pasha big date - is this common?

This time around it was kept running since returning from the spa and this is the result of the end of the month. Meaning neither my wife nor I were changing the date at all...

Thanks in advance!

My dream: to have a month of August with 34 days.
