Restore error: The provided timestamp is before your branch's first activity
Help! My app crashed so I created a restore from my only branch and only database. I selected a timestamp immediately before my Vercel logs started showing errors. I still cannot see any data - all tables are empty. Now I cannot restore earlier than this timestamp on either the main restore branch or the main_old_copy. I get this error message when I try to query at an earlier timestamp (when I know data did exist in the database):
Query at timestamp
Server error (HTTP status 500): {"message":"The provided timestamp is before your branch's first activity, try a more recent timestamp.","code":"","detail":null,"hint":null,"position":null,"internalPosition":null,"internalQuery":null,"severity":"","where":null,"table":null,"column":null,"schema":null,"dataType":null,"constraint":null,"file":null,"line":null,"routine":null}
Does the restore backup save data history? Is there any way for me to still restore my data?

Hi,
The main_old copy should contain the data as it existed at the point you performed the restore operation. Is it possible that you restored to a point in time after you lost the data? In this case, you'd have a restore branch without the data and a main_old copy without the data.
