The lifetime being since the migration did this?:

ALTER TABLE "search_docketentry" ADD COLUMN "recap_sequence_number" 
varchar(50) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE "search_docketentry" ALTER COLUMN "recap_sequence_number" 
DROP DEFAULT;

Also does the column recap_sequence_number appear in any other tables. 
Just wondering if the error was on another table?

This part confuses me. You seem to imply that the column existed before 
the migration and you just added a NOT NULL constraint. The migration 
shows the column being created with a NOT NULL constraint.

A start would be to figure out what generated?:

failing row contains (48064261, 2018-12-07 04:48:40.388377+00, 
2018-12-07 04:48:40.388402+00, null, 576, , 4571214, null, null)
