My Influx database was working fine , apparently not so fine, until I noticed that for some reason it stopped receiving data.  
I checked the server that sends the data and it is working normal.  
Both influx and telegraf are deployed to a kubernetes cluster.  
The logs at my influx pod are looking fine but the logs from the telegraf pod look like :

At that moment I want to mention that the name of the database is the correct one, I tried writing to the database and it successfully worked and the retention policy is like

> name duration shardGroupDuration replicaN default  
> autogen 0s 168h0m0s 1 false  
> 12\_hours\_rp 12h0m0s 1h0m0s 1 true

so it makes sense to not insert data older than 12 hours, but I don’t understand why it not inserting the current ones and what these error messages mean .
