# Search calendar greys out dates near today

In the search bar calendar, dates close to today appear greyed out and show a "Requires N-day advance booking" message.

**Why this happens.** These dates are blocked by the Toolkit's **Advance Notice Blocking** module. When this module is enabled, dates inside the configured advance-notice period cannot be selected and display the notice as a tooltip.

**What you can do.** To change this behavior, go to the **Toolkit Hub** and either adjust the advance-notice hours or disable the module.
