Raise when a time cannot be represented in nanoseconds - #927
Conversation
to_datetime64 and to_timedelta64 reached the nanosecond representation by three different routes, and each failed differently outside its range: strings and object arrays wrapped silently, arrays of seconds saturated at the bound, and scalar seconds raised an OverflowError from the multiply. A wrapped value is the worst of the three, being a plausible time in the wrong century. Check the bound on every route and raise TimeError naming the value. The date handler keeps its behavior and now shares the check. Fixes DASDAE#890

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The change aims to make out-of-range time conversions raise TimeError, but the current head still allows some temporal arrays, boundary floating-point values, and nanosecond-precision datetime strings to wrap, produce NaT, or return an incorrect date.

- Line 361: Update `_array_to_timedelta64` so its `timedelta64` branch uses
`_to_ns_unit(..., is_datetime=False)` and its `datetime64` branch first uses
`_to_ns_unit(..., is_datetime=True)` before viewing the result as
`timedelta64[ns]`; remove the direct narrowing `astype` paths so out-of-range
inputs follow the established `TimeError` handling.
- Around line 81-89: Update _check_seconds_array to compare signed values
directly against lower and upper bounds, avoiding np.abs and its int64 minimum
overflow; derive the maximum accepted seconds limit with np.nextafter(limit,
-np.inf) so values whose nanosecond conversion rounds to 2**63 are rejected
before conversion, while preserving _raise_out_of_ns_range for the first invalid
value.
- Around line 176-178: Validate datetime strings before converting them to
nanoseconds in the scalar conversion path, avoiding inferred datetime64[ns]
wrapping and raising TimeError for out-of-range values. Apply equivalent
pre-validation before array.astype("datetime64") in the array path, and add
regression tests covering the nine-digit fractional scalar and array cases.

Check the rounded nanosecond count without np.abs.
_NS_MAX / 1_000_000_000 evaluates to 9223372036.854776. Its product with 1_000_000_000 rounds to 2**63, but the strict > check accepts it. The subsequent int64 conversion can produce the NaT sentinel instead of raising TimeError.
np.abs also overflows for np.iinfo(np.int64).min. Compare signed lower and upper limits directly. Use np.nextafter(limit, -np.inf) as the maximum accepted floating-point magnitude.

NumPy datetime64 string parsing inferred unit nanosecond out of range datetime64[ns] casting 2500-01-01 fractional seconds overflow behavior
💡 Result:
The NumPy datetime64 data type is backed by a 64-bit integer, which imposes specific constraints on the range of dates it can represent based on the assigned unit [1][2]. The range for datetime64[ns] (nanosecond resolution) is [1678 AD, 2262 AD] [3][1]. Because 2500-01-01 falls outside this range, any attempt to represent or cast a date to datetime64[ns] that results in this value will encounter overflow behavior [4][5]. Historically, NumPy's casting behavior for datetime64 units has often been silent, leading to "wrapping" or incorrect results when values exceed the valid range [6][7]. For example, casting a date beyond the 2262 limit to [ns] may result in a value that appears to "wrap around" into the valid range due to integer overflow [4][5][6]. Recent developments, including efforts as of early 2026, have aimed to address these issues by implementing overflow-safe checks during unit conversion to raise an OverflowError instead of producing silent, incorrect results [8][6]. Regarding fractional seconds, NumPy supports units finer than seconds (e.g., ms, us, ns, ps, fs, as) [1][9]. When parsing strings, if the unit is not explicitly specified, NumPy automatically selects a unit based on the input string's precision [1]. If the input contains fractional seconds that exceed the capacity of the target unit (e.g., providing nanoseconds when the target is [s]), the fractional parts are truncated (effectively rounded toward zero to the specified precision) [1][10]. Top results: [3][1][8][6][7]

exact NumPy output np.datetime64("2500-01-01T00:00:00.000000000") dtype datetime64[ns] wraps
💡 Result:
The NumPy datetime64[ns] data type uses a 64-bit integer to store a count of nanoseconds relative to the Unix epoch (1970-01-01) [1][2]. Because of this 64-bit integer constraint, datetime64[ns] can only represent dates within the range of approximately 1678 AD to 2262 AD [1][3]. When you attempt to create a datetime64[ns] value for 2500-01-01, which falls outside this supported range, the value will "wrap" or overflow because NumPy casts the date into the internal int64 representation [1][4]. Specifically, the value for 2500-01-01 is treated as an integer offset from the epoch; when this number exceeds the maximum value that an int64 can hold within the ns unit metadata, it wraps around according to standard integer overflow behavior [1][5]. For 2500-01-01, the resulting datetime64[ns] output will be a date within the supported range [1][4]. While the exact wrapped value may vary based on internal implementation details, users consistently observe that timestamps exceeding the 2262 threshold do not raise an error but instead produce incorrect, "wrapped" date values [1][6][4].

NumPy 2 datetime64 parse 2500-01-01T00:00:00.000000000 OverflowError
💡 Result:
In NumPy, the datetime64 data type represents dates as 64-bit integers relative to an epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00 [1][2]. The supported date range depends on the precision (unit) specified [3][4]. If you are encountering an OverflowError or incorrect date behavior when working with datetime64 values like 2500-01-01, it is almost certainly due to the unit being set to a high-resolution time unit, such as nanoseconds ('ns') [5][3]. The 'ns' unit has a restricted range of approximately 292 years, spanning from roughly 1678 AD to 2262 AD [5][3]. Because 2500-01-01 falls outside this range, it cannot be represented as a datetime64[ns] [5][3]. If you attempt to create or cast to this unit, the value will overflow, often resulting in incorrect date representations or errors [5][6]. To resolve this issue, you must use a lower-resolution unit that supports the required time range [3][7]: 1. Use a day unit ('D') if time precision is not required (e.g., 'datetime64[D]') [1][3]. 2. Use a second ('s') or millisecond ('ms') unit if time precision is needed, as these support ranges of thousands to billions of years [3][7]. Recent updates in NumPy (such as PR #31085) have improved error handling to explicitly raise OverflowError when conversions between units result in an overflow, making these limitations more apparent than in previous versions [8]. If you are performing arithmetic or casting operations, ensure your target unit provides a sufficient span to accommodate your data [3][7].

Validate datetime strings before nanosecond conversion.
When a string has nine fractional digits, np.datetime64(obj) can infer datetime64[ns] and wrap an out-of-range value before _to_ns_unit checks it. For example, "2500-01-01T00:00:00.000000000" can return an incorrect in-range date instead of raising TimeError. Apply the same validation before array.astype("datetime64") in the array path. Add scalar and array regression tests.

NumPy 2.x datetime64 timedelta64 astype nanoseconds overflow OverflowError wrap behavior
💡 Result:
In NumPy, historically, datetime64 and timedelta64 conversions using .astype() could exhibit silent overflow or wraparound behavior due to the way unit scaling was implemented [1][2]. As of early 2026, NumPy has been actively addressing these issues to ensure safer conversion practices [3]. Key technical aspects include: 1. Overflow Detection: Historically, .astype() operations that resulted in values exceeding the storage limits of the target unit (e.g., converting a large duration to a finer unit) would silently wrap or produce incorrect values [1][2]. As of March 2026, work has been merged (specifically in PR #31085) to raise an OverflowError when such unit conversion overflows occur for both datetime64 and timedelta64 types [3]. 2. Conversion to Python Types: When converting datetime64 or timedelta64 objects to Python standard library types (datetime.datetime or datetime.timedelta) via .astype(), NumPy may return a raw int instead of the expected object if the value is out of bounds for the target type or if the unit is nanosecond-based (ns) [4][5][6]. This is a long-standing usability issue rather than a standard overflow behavior; for example, converting datetime64 to datetime.datetime returns an int (representing raw ticks) if the date is outside the datetime.MAXYEAR limit or under specific nanosecond precision conditions [4][6]. 3. Recommendations: - For critical applications, avoid relying on implicit truncation or potential wraparound behavior during unit conversions. - Be aware that astype conversion to standard Python datetime objects is subject to these limitations and may return integers rather than the expected object types in edge cases [4][5]. - If using a version of NumPy that precedes these recent fixes, consider implementing explicit range checks before performing astype unit scaling to avoid silent data corruption. The behavior of these operations is intended to become stricter over time, favoring explicit errors over silent, incorrect, or unexpected numerical results [3][7].

Use _to_ns_unit for temporal array inputs.
_array_to_timedelta64 still narrows timedelta64 and datetime64 arrays with direct astype calls. Out-of-range values can wrap or raise OverflowError instead of TimeError.
Route the timedelta64 branch through _to_ns_unit(..., is_datetime=False). Normalize the datetime64 branch with _to_ns_unit(..., is_datetime=True) before viewing it as timedelta64[ns].

The new test asserted that a year outside what a coordinate holds is refused, which is true only where numpy overflows converting it. The older numpy the minimum-dependency job installs wraps the year instead and hands back a date, so the set built and the test failed there. What this module decides is that neither outcome reaches the caller as an implementation error, and that is what the test now pins. The wrap itself is `to_datetime64`'s to fix, which #927 is about.
