Error query: Mysqli stat ement execute error : Out of range value for column 'time_transfer'

After upgrading to Matomo v4 beta, we get the following errors, not often, but regularly a few times a day amount ~5000 visits:

[proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 2527369:tid 140305038833408] [client XX.YY.ZZ.AA:61674] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: Error in Matomo (tracker): Error query: Mysqli statement execute error : Out of range value for column 'time_transfer' at row 1

I guess some database tables have not been migrated correctly but the CLI says that all is up-to-date. I recognised before that tables from disabled plugins are not migrated but still accessed, causing errors. But at least for this table column time_transfer I cannot find the related plugin and the local + server time plugin is enabled anyway. Anyone has an idea?

Hi,

Can you try out applying the changes from here:

https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/pull/16516

It seems that for some requests the times are negative because responseEnd is smaller than responseStart. This change sets the values to 0 if they are negative.

Many thanks, I just applied this to our instance and will let you know if the issue is solved, i.e. until tomorrow morning the error did reappear.

Error didn’t re-appear until now, I would render this as solved, many thanks!
