contents We explain why Calabi-Yau and complete elliptic integrals do not contribute to conservative observables at fifth post-Minkowskian order, despite appearing in intermediate steps. At even loop orders, conservative contributions are tied to terms proportional to the logarithm of the momentum transfer, which in dimensional regularization arise from singular regions. We show that in the classical limit, the integral classes responsible for Calabi-Yau and complete elliptic behavior are absent from the ultraviolet singular structures that generate the required logarithm. This perspective also suggests alternative strategies for analyzing the classical limit of multiloop integrals in the conservative sector at even loop orders.
