Hey @DexterDSilva, I’ve just started running into this too — as far as I know, this is a bug in duckling we have to look into. However, as this bot doesn’t parse dates, it shouldn’t be causing the fallback stuff, just annoying warnings that don’t apply here. I think what’s causing the fallback is that you didn’t give it any input here: ```auto 14:16:41 INFO root - Starting Rasa Core server on http://localhost:5005 Bot loaded. Type a message and press enter (use ‘/stop’ to exit): Your input -> ``` Here’s an example I had with this bot today: ```auto Your input -> hi 2019-07-13 14:24:13 WARNING root - Could not parse timestamp f8a32f568ceb43f1b15d2536798684e6.

@erohmensing thank you for your reply. What was throwing me was the ‘could not parse timestamp message…’ and I thought I was doing something wrong. Hence, I did not bother with the rest. Now I shall go back and run it with a smile 🙂 ---

No worries. I’ve created an issue to hopefully figure out what’s going on there 🙂 you can safely ignore it for now! ---

As far as I know, the warning still shows, but the bot parses the information correctly. You can test this with `rasa shell nlu` ---
