The magnet function is now merging items with different expiration dates, even if they differ significantly. This is when using the version not meant to merge items with different expiration dates.
#Magnet is Merging items with different expiration dates

this is technically intended behavior
expiring items can be given to the player with different prescribed durations, and any stackable (not yet expired) items with the same item ID will stack with the magnet as long as you allow it to stack expiring items

expiring items can be given to the player ...
that is not correct, it says items with duration difference under 1 minute and there is a separate button to stack expiring items together with different durations

it's not a different button, it's a setting
if you have that box unchecked AND they are stacking as you describe, then that would be unintended, but it is not clear how you have it set
simple imp
Items with different expiring dates have stacked via magnet+setting for years by this point. I do it regularly.
You may have had some settings changed, as shown above!
