Hello, After upgrading to version 7.11 from version 7.9.3 suddenly one of my index patterns cant load properly results in kibana overview. ![error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/0/2037df0b5bdae5390b038ff896a981b666e950f4.png) The dark point is that it used to work fine before the update. The error message notes: ``` ## illegal_argument_exception at `shard` 0 `index` article360-oe-chains-auto-i-dat-20210222 `node` pWmcfHISSE29wi2TaAyfOg Type illegal_argument_exception Reason failed to parse date field [1.6140298367400064E9] with format [epoch_second] Caused by type date_time_parse_exception Caused by reason date_time_parse_exception: Failed to parse with all enclosed parsers ``` I will attach the template setting and mappings in case they help.

In order to provide a final info that may help. When i create an index pattern without timestamp field specified so that i can see what exactly i am sending in Elasticsearch i see that i am sending the following values for example: ![image1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/7/6/7651ce33b083933722dbeb596ec09582a198030d.png) ---

Hello Mattew, Yes it us, but they closed the issue without implementing a solution i guess...? Best regards, Alexandros ---

The error is likely occurring because epoc times expressed in scientific notation are no longer supported. ---
