What's a subtle red flag you've previously missed in a person?

Agreeing with having no kids but seeing them become obsessed with other couples' kids.
The literal week we ended up getting married, she started pressing to have kids. Lasted only a few months.

Ask them how their weekend was and there's always a wee mention of how either they or their SO were feeling kinda 'bleh' at some point. Every.Single.Time

I don't understand this. What's wrong with feeling 'bleh'?

Insisting on paying for others. Turned out to be a power thing.

Self pity. It's one thing having a bad day or rough patch, but some people have an extraordinary need for pity. It's a big red flag
People don't talk about this enough. It's one thing to be an arrogant prick with self-esteem that's way too high, but the same thing goes for people with self-esteem that's way too low. In either case you're walking on eggshells around them trying to make sure you don't say the wrong thing and send them into a temper tantrum or self-pity spiral. I have a little more sympathy for the latter, but both forms are incredibly toxic imo.

Yeah some people just become sympathy vacuums. They always have a "woe is me" mentality and want a ton of comforting when nothing is really wrong. (I was raised by one of these and it's draining!)

Full disclaimer: I don't date so I am talking about in friendships in general.
Being over-apologetic. And by that I mean they are quick to apologize any potential conflict.
Apologizing is a good thing, however if they consistently go out of their way to apologize without you even mentioning anything was wrong, chances are there are more dark/nefarious plays at hand such as manipulation.
I have missed that flag a few times in friendships and they ended up turning toxic over time. Some were recoverable, some wern't
