   I am wondering if perhaps the log_event method is too "loose" constraint wise as it trusts the user to provide the timestamp in the form expected by the server, perhaps this method should instead take a datetime object?

   You could use:

   from dateutil import parser
   
   dt = parser.parse("2025-10-07")
   print(dt)

   to "smartly" detect the format but this will affect performance.

   Simplest solution is to attach a validator to the input, I will do that
