Metricbeat logging rotateonstartup not work

metricbeat.yml
logging.files:
interval: 24h
permissions: 0644
rotateonstartup: False
metricbeat version:8.15

According to the above Settings, when metricbeat restarts, why does a new log file (metricbeat-yyyMMdd-1.ndjson) be generated? I want to generate a log file in the form of metricbeat-yyyMMdd.ndjson every day
example:
metricbeat-20241025.ndjson
metricbeat-20241026.ndjson
metricbeat-20241027.ndjson
Thank you very much for that answer.

logging.files.permissions: 0644
logging.files.rotateonstartup: false << Make sure lowercase f
logging.event_data.files.rotateonstartup: false

Hmmm I am seeing the same

Start / stop metricbeat 3 times...
