Thread: sequence id overflow ERROR using timescaledb

 I am using timescaledb version  2.7.2, and PostgreSQL 12.11 (Ubuntu 12.11-1.pgdg20.04+1) on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Ubuntu 9.4.0-1ubuntu1~20.04.1) 9.4.0, 64-bit

I tried to compress a chuck using the compress_chunk function and running a job as well, and I got "sequence id overflow" message ERROR.

Any idea how to fix it or why I got this error?

Note: I compressed other chuckles without problem.

   SELECT  'set temp_file_limit =-1; SELECT compress_chunk(''' || chunk_schema|| '.' || chunk_name || ''');'  
 FROM timescaledb_information.chunks
  WHERE   is_compressed =false;
                                         ?column?
