In this post, we recap the most interesting timestamp and query time range issues, workarounds, and how-tos from GitHub, IRC, and the InfluxDB Google Group in the last week or so. The maximum timestamp that InfluxDB can handle is 2262-04-11T23:47:16.854775806Z, while the minimum timestamp is -9223372036854775806 or 1677-09-21T00:12:43.145224194Z. When a query doesn’t specify a time range in the WHERE clause, InfluxDB covers a default time range that varies depending on the version of InfluxDB being used. For example, in versions 1.0 and under, the default time range is between 1677-09-21 00:12:43.145224194 UTC and now(), while in versions 1.1+ the default time range is between 1677-09-21 00:12:43.145224194 UTC and 2262-04-11T23:47:16.854775806Z UTC. Additionally, users can configure returned timestamps by using the epoch query string parameter in the HTTP API or specifying alternative timestamp formats with the precision command in the CLI.
