Maybe I just don’t understand how Influx windows data, but this behavior doesn’t seem accurate. Can someone explain to me why when i set my windowing period to 13 min, influx windows by 11 min first, then goes to a 13 min interval? How can i fix this so that EVERY interval is 13 min?

Update: i solved the issue by using the start time instead of the end time in the offset line i had commented out. I accidently switched the first start time with the end time which threw everything off. Solution: use the offset line commented out.
