When thre is a change of calendar i the iddle of a month.
Or when it is not a "month" based on the Moon.

For example, wikipedia says:

Spain,[19] Portugal, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and most of
Italy implemented the new calendar on Friday, 15 October 1582,
immediately following Julian Thursday, 4 October 1582.

So the month of October 1582 in those countries had only  20  days!
