Resolution

This looks to be working as designed. Portlet 'Late Status Reports" is not designed to handle the days range for "Days Since Last Report". Underlying query that brings data for the portlet takes number of days to get the status reports that are submitted before those many days. But it does not handle range here.

Negative number that mentioned in Trace log is not actually a negative number being passed, it is actually NULL being passed, it can be observed set null there.
