Pandas version checks
-
[x] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
-
[x] I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
-
[ ] I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.
Reproducible Example
import pandas as pd
print(pd.tseries.api.guess_datetime_format('2025-06-15T21:25:00.000000Z'))
print(pd.tseries.api.guess_datetime_format('2025-06-15T20:24:00.000000Z'))
print(pd.tseries.api.guess_datetime_format('2025-06-15T20:25:00.000000Z'))
# %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f%z
# %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f%z
# None
Issue Description
I'm receiving a strange None from guess_datetime_format for a very particular string combination. I can change the hours and minutes separately and it works fine, but when I set the time to exactly 20:25 it produces a None result.
Expected Behavior
It should produce the same '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f%z' format as the other two examples.
