-The dateTimeAdd function takes into account leap years and the number of days in a month when performing date arithmetic. The following example adds one month to January 31:
+The `dateTimeAdd` function doesn't take leap years into consideration, and _P1Y_ should be interpreted as _P365D_, while _P1M_ should be interpreted as _P30D_. The following Bicep file shows some examples:
 
 ```bicep

+output addOneMonthLeap string = dateTimeAdd('2024-02-01 00:00:00Z', 'P1M') //2023-03-02T00:00:00Z
 ```
 
-In this example, `dateTimeAdd` returns `2023-03-02T00:00:00Z`, not `2023-02-28T00:00:00Z`. If the base is `2024-01-31 00:00:00Z`, it returns `2024-03-01T00:00:00Z` because 2024 is a leap year.
+In the preceding example, considering 2023 as a non-leap year, the outcome of adding one year to the initial day of the year is _2024-01-01T00:00:00Z_. Conversely, adding one year to the starting day of 2024, a leap year, results in _2024-12-31T00:00:00Z_, not _2025-01-01T00:00:00Z_, given that a leap year comprises 366 days instead of 365 days. Furthermore, the distinction between leap and non-leap years becomes apparent when adding one month to the first day of February, leading to varying day-of-the-month results.
