Hi,
I was playing around with old office secret key cracking based on:
https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-7643.html description. I was using the same good file.hash: $oldoffice$1*d6aabb63363188b9b73a88efb9c9152e*afbbb9254764273f8f4fad9a5d82981f*6f09fd2eafc4ade522b5f2bee0eaf66d with known RC4 key: f2ab1219ae
It is strange that hashcat succeeded in finding RC4 key if I ran it as: hashcat file.hash -m 9710 -a 3 --hex-charset f2ab1219ae
but hashcat failed in finding RC4 key with statement that it exhausted all variants from $HEX[f2ab121900] to $HEX[f2ab1219ff] if I ran it as:
hashcat file.hash -m 9710 -a 3 --hex-charset f2ab1219?b
Isn't 0xae part of 0x00-0xff range?
How does hashcat get to this result?

It looks as reappearance of 8 year old bug in hashcat:

Are you sure hashcat is not just "Skipping" your hash because it has previously been found in the potfile?
Show us the code of your attack running, or being exhausted.

Nope, it's not in potfile. Please check run results with full key and masked key below.

i believe the problem is still the broken intel opencl GPU driver (this problem is as old as the intel integrated cpu/gpu devices) you have to stick to CPU opencl drivers (in my case i can force hashcat with options -D -d1 to use CPU)
your device
Device #1: Intel(R) UHD Graphics
try using intel opencl drivers for CPU only (you will need to deinstall the UHD graphics driver beforehand, if you just have a laptop without a separate gpu this approach will not work for you)

Yes, falling back to Intel OpenCL CPU only runtimes helped.
It would be worth implementing some OpenCL bug check while starting hashcat masked attack, otherwise people may run it for days not knowing that attack will never succeed...

well i think there was such a check in hashcat 62.5, i will open a github issue to check this
