I think this is due to Carbon using declare(strict_types=1); in carbon/src/Carbon/Traits/Units.php. When $unit = "second", the $value is never cast/converted to float|int.

Carbon version is 3.2.4

Steps To Reproduce

Just run a queue worker. No jobs are actually queued.

[sxtnmedia]

Fresh Laravel v11.3.1
Carbon 3.2.4
PHP 8.3.6

Couldn't reproduce the error.

[devajmeireles]

Same here, @sxtnmedia 👍🏻

Hey there, thanks for reporting this issue.

We'll need more info and/or code to debug this further. Can you please create a repository with the command below, commit the code that reproduces the issue as one separate commit on the main/master branch and share the repository here?

Please make sure that you have the latest version of the Laravel installer in order to run this command. Please also make sure you have both Git & the GitHub CLI tool properly set up.

laravel new bug-report --github="--public"

Do not amend and create a separate commit with your custom changes. After you've posted the repository, we'll try to reproduce the issue.

Thanks!

I forgot to mention that this happened after an upgrade from Laravel 9 to 10 to 11. I will try to reproduce the issue in a separate repo.

[pakistanimoon]

Could not reproduce Error on Fresh Laravel
Can you please show some code snippets or upload repo?

I have same issue in Laravel 11, php 8.3.4, carbon 3.2.4.
How to fix it?

[marius-mcp]

The latest version of laravel 11 has here
#3 /var/www/example.com/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Support/InteractsWithTime.php(38): Carbon\Carbon->__call()

https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/1ab4de52d0ac3a7a48410bf1e7b735499ce59284/src/Illuminate/Support/InteractsWithTime.php#L26C1-L39C6

   /**
     * Get the "available at" UNIX timestamp.
     *
     * @param  \DateTimeInterface|\DateInterval|int  $delay
     * @return int
     */
    protected function availableAt($delay = 0)
    {
        $delay = $this->parseDateInterval($delay);

        return $delay instanceof DateTimeInterface
                            ? $delay->getTimestamp()
                            : Carbon::now()->addRealSeconds($delay)->getTimestamp();
    }

I guess that $delay is int and it might be called from #4 /var/www/example.com/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Queue/RedisQueue.php(278): Illuminate\Queue\Queue->availableAt()

framework/src/Illuminate/Queue/RedisQueue.php

Line 278 in 1ab4de5

$this->availableAt($this->retryAfter)

it seems like this https://github.com/briannesbitt/Carbon/blob/3a103ffea3709795029166da901a23fbc781db14/src/Carbon/Traits/Date.php#L2608

is called from https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/1ab4de52d0ac3a7a48410bf1e7b735499ce59284/src/Illuminate/Support/InteractsWithTime.php#L38C46-L38C60

Maybe in between the $parameters are changing...

• @method $this addSeconds(int $value = 1) Add seconds (the $value count passed in) to the instance (using date interval).
  vs
• @method $this addRealSeconds(int $value = 1) Add seconds (the $value count passed in) to the instance (using timestamp).

... or

        return new RedisQueue(
            $this->redis, $config['queue'],
            $config['connection'] ?? $this->connection,
            $config['retry_after'] ?? 60,
            $config['block_for'] ?? null,
            $config['after_commit'] ?? null
        );

OR the RedisQueue is instantiated with string in its $config['retry_after']

but...

framework/config/queue.php

Line 70 in 1ab4de5

'retry_after' => (int) env('REDIS_QUEUE_RETRY_AFTER', 90),

Conclusion pls check queue.php config for redis.

I've been having the same issue as well after upgrading from Laravel 10 to 11.
It's happening when dispatching a ShouldBeUniqueUntilProcessing job that uses DB for locks.

@khamazaspyan, @sklr did you managed to solve this issue?

UPDATE: in my case I can confirm that the exception is being thrown from Carbon/Traits/Units.php#L162
Looks like some part of the Laravel code is passing $value to Units::addUTCUnit as a string instead of an int.
