The quantity 60,874 is displayed and each recurrence has a quantity of 30,437, but you expect to see instead 31 days and 28 days.

As the price per period flag is selected, the system calculates the quantity as per the year. In a non-leap year there are 365 days, in a leap year there are 366 days. The length of the year is then 365.2425 days. The system calculates: 365,2425 / 12 = 30,436875 days. For this reason, each recurrence would have 30,436875 days.

In case you want to keep the recurrence pattern set up as monthly, we would suggest to use the unit Month in the Items tab. Once this is done you will see 2 reccurences pattern with quantity 1 month. Or you can also uncheck the box for Price per Period on Items tab if it is not relevant.
