Code Sample

import pandas as pd
idx = pd.timedelta_range(start='8H', freq='10S', periods=5040)
s = pd.Series(range(len(idx)), index=idx)
s.resample('3H').min()

Observed Output

08:00:00       0.0
11:00:00    1080.0
14:00:00    2160.0
17:00:00    3240.0
20:00:00    4320.0
23:00:00       NaN
Freq: 3H, dtype: float64

Expected Output

08:00:00       0.0
11:00:00    1080.0
14:00:00    2160.0
17:00:00    3240.0
20:00:00    4320.0
Freq: 3H, dtype: float64

Problem description

Downsampling and then applying (any) function to the Resampler object seems to add an extra bin in some cases. It is unclear when this exactly occurs, but these two conditions seem necessary (but not sufficient) to reproduce the bug:

  • the resampling period does not exactly fit in the original index
  • the original index starts with a non-zero Timedelta

This guess is based on the fact that changing '8H' to '0H' in the code above returns an expected output. Equally so does changing the resampling period to '2H'.
