I'm trying to filter a cloud download (or cloud List Files, for that matter) by date using 8.3.3, and going by the extended debug logging, Visualcron is attempting to convert the date entered in the filter field to a Long and failing. (I was using the format yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm).

I thought that might mean it is expecting a Unix timestamp, but that doesn't seem to work either.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug?

Please add a screenshot with your filter settings.

The following both return all otherwise relevant files, going back to November.

You need to use a date Variable. Click on the select button and choose any of the date Variables.

The reason I was testing different values in the first place was because {TASK(Active|LastExited|yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm)} didn't work. I see, however, that I had to go get that from the regular Variables because it is not available in the ones listed from the red dot next to the specific field.

{DATEADD(Minutes|{TASK(Active|LastExited|yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm)}|yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm|0|yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm)} and similar constructions seem to work, however. Thanks!

Of course, we ended up getting edit access to the share in question so I could go back to our usual approach of deleting files once we've processed and archived them anyhow, but it's still useful to know how to do this.
