requinix@php.net, you are right.
The
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Moscow');
was set.
But!! a year has the same number of days in any timezone. How timezone can affect the total days
number?

Just realized:
This error appears if default timezone set, like
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Moscow');
But timezone must not affect the result.
corrected code:
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Moscow');
$beforDate=DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d G:i:s', '1900-01-01 00:00:00');
$afterDate=DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d G:i:s', '2021-02-08 00:00:42');
$dtInterval = $beforDate->diff($afterDate);
$daysPassed = $dtInterval->days;
echo "1. days passed if target date have 42 seconds from midnight: $daysPassed" . PHP_EOL;
$afterDate=DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d G:i:s', '2021-02-08 00:00:43');
$dtInterval = $beforDate->diff($afterDate);
$daysPassed = $dtInterval->days;
echo "2. days passed if target date have 43 seconds from midnight: $daysPassed" . PHP_EOL;
result:
1. days passed if target date have 42 seconds from midnight: 44232
2. days passed if target date have 43 seconds from midnight: 44233

Google thinks the answer is 44202, and that's what I get on 3v4l for both $afterDates.

Are you sure the timezone doesn't matter? Is your timezone database up to date?

Description:
------------
DateTime->diff returns different days, depending on how many seconds passed from midnight on a
target date.
This behaviour is independent of timezone settings.
Tested on PHP 7.2-7.4
The bug doesn't appear if you use short period:
<?php
$beforDate=DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d G:i:s', '1900-01-01 00:00:00');
$afterDate=DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d G:i:s', '1900-01-08 00:00:43');
$dtInterval = $beforDate->diff($afterDate);
$daysPassed = $dtInterval->days;
echo "days passed if target date have 42 seconds from midnight: $daysPassed" . PHP_EOL;
$afterDate=DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d G:i:s', '1900-01-08 00:00:43');
$dtInterval = $beforDate->diff($afterDate);
$daysPassed = $dtInterval->days;
echo "days passed if target date have 43 seconds from midnight: $daysPassed" . PHP_EOL;
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$beforDate=DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d G:i:s', '1900-01-01 00:00:00');
$afterDate=DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d G:i:s', '2021-01-08 00:00:42');
$dtInterval = $beforDate->diff($afterDate);
$daysPassed = $dtInterval->days;
echo "days passed if target date have 42 seconds from midnight: $daysPassed" . PHP_EOL;
$afterDate=DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d G:i:s', '2021-01-08 00:00:43');
$dtInterval = $beforDate->diff($afterDate);
$daysPassed = $dtInterval->days;
echo "days passed if target date have 43 seconds from midnight: $daysPassed" . PHP_EOL;
Expected result:
----------------
days passed: 44201
Actual result:
--------------
days passed: 44202
