I'm trying to call patch without permanently changing my X axis from a datetime array.

Hi. I'm trying to call patch without permanently changing my X axis from a datetime array. Here is an example of what I'm trying to do. The call to temporarily change the data type in XData is not working. Any suggestions?
% Create data & plot
x = datetime(2017,1,1) + caldays(1:31);
y = rand(1,31);
plt = plot(x, y);
% Convert X axis to a double
plt.XData = datenum(plt.XData);
% Shade patch area
Ys = ylim;
Y1 = [Ys(1),Ys(2),Ys(2),Ys(1)];
x1 = datenum(datetime(2017,1,14));
x2 = datenum(datetime(2017,1,21));
ptch = patch([x1 x1 x2 x2], Y1, [0 0 0]);
ptch.FaceAlpha = .15;
% Convert X axis back to a datetime type
plt.XData = datetime(plt.XData, 'ConvertFrom', 'datenum');

x = datetime(2017,1,1) + caldays(1:31);
y = rand(1,31);
plt = plot(x, y);
hold on
x1 = datetime(2017,1,14);
x2 = datetime(2017,1,21);
fx = [x1 x2 x2 x1 x1]
Ys = ylim;
fy = [Ys(1) Ys(1) Ys(2) Ys(2) Ys(1)];
fill( fx, fy, [0 0 0], 'FaceAlpha', 0.15);
hold off

I get this error in R2019b,
Error using datetime/horzcat (line 1335)
All inputs must be datetimes or date/time character vectors or date/time
strings.
Please show your call to datetime() that is triggering the problem, including showing the class() of each of the variables you are passing in.

Use fill instead of patch.
% Create data & plot
x = datetime(2017,1,1) + caldays(1:31);
y = rand(1,31);
plt = plot(x, y);
% Convert X axis to a double
% plt.XData = datenum(plt.XData);
% Shade patch area
Ys = ylim;
Y1 = [Ys(1),Ys(2),Ys(2),Ys(1)];
x1 = (datetime(2017,1,14));
x2 = (datetime(2017,1,21));
ptch = fill([x1 x1 x2 x2], Y1, [0 0 0]);
ptch.FaceAlpha = .15;
