Yes, the issue is due to using an older version of Org.

I searched the change log and saw that the compact form is introduced in Org 9.4, while mine is 9.3.

Thanks for your help!

I'm contributing to an org file python parser to correctly parse durations.

I found the comments in org-duration.el

<https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/src/master/lisp/org-duration.el#L31>),
mentioning that `1d3h5min` is a valid duration format.

So, I expect the following should work:

M-x eval-expression <RET>
(org-duration-string-to-minutes "1d3h5min") <RET>
I cannot reproduce it. I get 1625.0.

Maybe your Org is too old. So-called "compact" form was introduced after the 
others.
