Error in as.Date.default(e2) : do not know how to convert 'e2' to class “Date”

I am trying to get a new month's start date with mutate from dplyr. The function worked perfectly last night and now out of the blue I get the following error:

Error in as.Date.default(e2) : 
  do not know how to convert 'e2' to class “Date”

I never heard or read anything about "e2". Below my code and the head of my data:

CT_inact_months <- CT_inact_months %>%
  mutate(new_start_date = if_else(forced_start == newmonth, as.Date(start), as.Date(paste0(newmonth, "-01"))))

> head(CT_inact_months)
# A tibble: 6 × 8
 
 camera start               end                 forced_start forced_end name   newmonth  Year
  <chr>  <dttm>              <dttm>              <date>       <date>     <chr>  <I<chr>> <dbl>

I tried to supply as.Date with the "origin" as I thought that might be the issue. Also the as.Date parts of the code work on their own as I tried them separately.
