I had tried modifying Org agenda to display the repeater in tasks as Wai
Hon's Blog documented a few weeks ago:
https://whhone.com/posts/org-agenda-repeated-tasks/

Below is the code that causes the org-element warning:

(defun my/org-agenda-repeater ()
  "The repeater shown in org-agenda-prefix for agenda."
  (if (org-before-first-heading-p)
      "-------"  ; fill the time grid
    (format "%5s: " (or (org-get-repeat) ""))))

;; Add `my/org-agenda-repeater' to the agenda prefix.
(setcdr (assoc 'agenda org-agenda-prefix-format)
        " %i %-12:c%?-12t%s%(my/org-agenda-repeater)")


Emacs  : GNU Emacs 31.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-apple-darwin24.2.0, NS appkit-2575.30 Version 15.2 (Build 24C101))
 of 2025-01-20
Package: Org mode version 9.7.11 (release_9.7.11 @ /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/org/)

For now I just commented out the code that attempts to add the repeater
to Org Agenda, but it is easy for me to reproduce if you need further information.

Thanks,

Mark Barton

This code looks all right - org-agenda-prefix-format placeholders are
evaluated with current buffer being Org buffer (normally).

May you try to run M-x debug-on-entry RET display-warning RET and
try triggering the warning? Then, you will see a backtrace with the full
information about where the warning is triggered.

(you can later disable the debugger via M-x cancel-debug-on-entry RET RET)

I jinxed it when I said it was easy to reproduce. Because now even if I put that code back in, it does not display the warning for org-element that has been happening for days. The other things that changed are the org files, but the diffs look like normal marking tasks done and updating repeats. The other thing I ran this morning is (native-compile-prune-cache). I would not expect that to be the source.

Please close this out and I will file a new report if it happens again with the debug backtrace.

Thanks,

Mark Barton
