If the Kubernetes cluster reported the start time of a pending or running job, the last successful completion or the last schedule of a CronJob a few seconds after the current time of the Checkmk server, the CronJob Status service crashed with ValueError: Cannot render negative timespan.

The service now reports such a timestamp as being in the future and asks you to check the system time, like the other Kubernetes checks.
