I have the following code:

\documentclass{standalone}

\usepackage{pgfgantt}


\begin{document}


\begin{ganttchart}[
    today label={Heute},
    today={\the\year-\the\month-\the\day},
    time slot format=isodate,
    progress=today,
    x unit=0.1mm,
    ]{2022-07-27}{2023-08-10}
    \ganttgroup{My Action}{2022-07-27}{2023-08-09}
\end{ganttchart}
\end{document}

and it produces: Dimension too large. ...ttgroup{My Action}{2022-07-27}{2023-08-09}, which initially led me to Dimension too large in pgfgantt, but as you can see I reduced the x unit=0.1mm and it did not change. The image produced is OK, except for the scaling of the progress, which just does not match: enter image description here

    well pgfgantt should better first divide and then multiply , so do / 100 * \gtt@progress instead of * \gtt@progress / 100. But one can't simply patch the command. If you are daring (and probably I will be sent to hell for this suggestion) you could try \renewcommand\pgfmathsetmacro[2]{\edef#1{\fpeval{#2}}}. – Ulrike Fischer Jan 17 '23 at 18:03
  • Even if you are coming to hell it works @UlrikeFischer. Why do you come to hell, what is so bad about this patch? – TobiBS Feb 14 '23 at 20:16
  • well it redefines a rather central pgf command, that is used in many places, and I have no real idea if it will continue to work in all of them. – Ulrike Fischer Feb 17 '23 at 13:54
  • Understood @UlrikeFischer, I will hopefully remember that once it creates an issue. ;-) – TobiBS Feb 21 '23 at 09:56
