Getting an error that suggests a dependency between healthcheck start_interval and start_period

I am trying to up a docker-compose file with a bunch of services but getting

healthcheck.start_interval requires healthcheck.start_period to be set

If I remove healthcheck.start_interval or define healthcheck.start_period everything works but
what’s strange is that my colleagues (using Macs) are not getting it. They have a very close docker version number

I cannot find any evidence that requirement is enforced in the schema, so not sure where it is coming from.

I am on

Well, different versions may work differently. Probably based on changes around this issue.
