2 makes the most sense, and its also the international standard for dates in ISO 8601 / RFC 3339

I’m in the US. 90% of devs I work with write it in ISO 8601 anyways, even in emails or chats. Not only does it make sense, it also sorts logically and is more searchable (eg 2024-11-*).

:non-iso-8601:

Granted we're an international company across Europe and Americas, and have certainly run into confusion with messages like "the license expires on 4/7/25"

Ah, the real reason that East Asia is the tech hub of the world!1

They can't change it though, or I'll be robbed of my twice daily "never forget" joke opportunity
