What am I misunderstanding about how sacct filtering works here? I would have expected the second command to show the exact same results as the first.

All I can say is that this has to do with --starttime and that you have to read the manual really carefully about how they interact, including when you have --endtime set. It’s a bit fiddly and annoying, IMO, and I can never quite remember how it works.

You need to specify --end NOW for this to work as expected. From the man page:
WITHOUT --jobs AND WITH --state specified: --starttime defaults to Now. --endtime defaults to --starttime and to Now if --starttime is not specified.
Eg
sacct --starttime $(date -d "7 days ago" +"%Y-%m-%d") -X --format
JobID,JobName,State,Elapsed --name bash JobID JobName State Elapsed ------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- 570741 bash COMPLETED 00:00:02 570742 bash COMPLETED 00:00:02 570743 bash FAILED 00:00:01 570744 bash FAILED 00:00:01 570745 bash FAILED 00:00:01 570746 bash COMPLETED 00:00:02 570747 bash COMPLETED 00:00:02 570748 bash COMPLETED 00:00:02
sacct --starttime $(date -d "7 days ago" +"%Y-%m-%d") -X --format
JobID,JobName,State,Elapsed --name bash --state COMPLETED JobID JobName State Elapsed ------------ ---------- ---------- ----------
sacct --starttime $(date -d "7 days ago" +"%Y-%m-%d") -X --format
JobID,JobName,State,Elapsed --name bash --state COMPLETED --end now JobID JobName State Elapsed ------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- 570741 bash COMPLETED 00:00:02 570742 bash COMPLETED 00:00:02 570746 bash COMPLETED 00:00:02 570747 bash COMPLETED 00:00:02 570748 bash COMPLETED 00:00:02
Hope this helps! Chris
