I'd like to understand what you mean. Can you elaborate please?

Yes, definitely. I've been too cryptic. Let's pick my real case: I configure the block ranges as 2h, 12h, 24h, 7 days, 30 days. The problem is that the 7 days and 30 days time boundaries don't align, so a bunch of 7 days blocks (crossing the 30d time boundary) will be never compacter either in one "30 days block" or another one. They will just be left as 7 days blocks. The solution was to set it to 2h, 12h, 24h, 7 days, 28 days. This check would have spotted, but took me a couple of days before realising it.

WDYT?

Thanks for explanation. That makes sense. I would perhaps expect to see compactor making 35 days block instead (also not what we really want, but closer to 30 than 7 :)).

Extra check will set the expectations right.
