@HAL9000 & @Geoff_T We are looking into it. I wasn't able to reproduce, but I have escalated for further investigation. Thank you for the tag and your feedback.

Strange. I can repro 100% of the time. I've put in an automatic reload on my Fully browser on my Fire tablets to work around the problem on my real dashboards, but I can still repro on both Chrome on iPadOS and Edge on a Windows 10 PC (photo of the Edge repro below, taken just now 1/16/2020). Is there anything you want me to try to help diagnose? I'm now on 2.1.8.117, by the way.
I've got 3 tablets running and all of them do the same. Date won't update without a refresh.
I'll add my name to the list. I see the same bug with my dashboard using Fully Kiosk on a Nexus 7.
Found a workaround: Created a global string variable (in Rule Machine) called "Today's Date", and then created a rule (also in Rule Machine) to run at 00:01 each day to set the variable equal to %date%. Then display it on the dashboard using a variable string tile.
Well, yeah. Another workaround is to have Fully do a web reload overnight. So we can concede this isn't an earth-shattering problem. But on the other hand, it seems like it wouldn't be that hard to resolve since it is clearly a Hubitat Dashboard issue (not a browser or client issue), and no devices or other apps are involved.
To be honest, I'm moving from surprised to annoyed that I opened a ticket three weeks ago on this and never got a response. @bobbyD

Well, yes, it doesn't sound like it should be complicated to fix!
We will look into it.

Thank you
Check out the new update and let us know if your problem was resolved.
Someone else will have to provide a more immediate response. After being burned by bricking a hub from an update, I no longer get the updates as soon as they are released as I don't want to be a beta tester. It will be several weeks before my input.
This is good news though!

I have never heard of a hub being bricked by an update. Could please provide us with more details so we can further investigate.
This isn't a current situation, this was back when there were numerous reports of 500 errors after an update several months ago.
The update worked just fine, but I guess I can't confirm it worked until the date changes! I'll update tomorrow.

I have done the update and will confirm tomorrow that the issue was resolved for me.

If you experience any problems, please reach out here in the community or via email at support@hubitat.com. There are several options to recover a hub without "bricking" it, even if the database becomes corrupted during an update.
Reaching out was done back when this occurred and a replacement hub was sent as it was bricked.
Confirmed fixed on three platforms.

Confirmed. It works on my iPad dashboard.
