Description
It appears somehow that get_field is returning -1 day in some cases while the value correct:
In stead of March 2nd, it shows March 1st which is not set as the date. This does not happen with PHP's date() and DateTime.
Changing the output format won't make it budge, it will keep displaying -1 day.
I am running the latest versions of ACF & ACF Pro (as of today) + Elementor Pro

Research direction
Start at the get_field entry point and reproduce the reported Date field value on the front end using the stated ACF and ACF Pro versions. Compare its result with PHP's date() and DateTime behavior, including the configured output format. Done means the selected March 2 date is returned and displayed without shifting to March 1.
