Case contract

For FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL;BYDAY;WKST;COUNT starting at dtstart (weeks begin on wkst, days of the first week before dtstart are skipped, active weeks every interval weeks from the dtstart week), compute the date of the final instance arithmetically, without expanding. count < 1 returns None. The result must equal the last element of the full expansion.

Why this case matters

Recurring calendar series are expanded into concrete instances for display, reminders and conflict checks.
