                                "range": {
                                    "create_time": {
                                        "gte": "2020-09-02T00:00:00",

                                    }
                                }
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                }
            }
        },
        "aggs": {
            "posts_over_time": {

                    "format": "yyyy-MM-dd",
                    "extended_bounds": {
                        "min": "2020-09-02",
                        "max": "2020-09-05"
                    }
                },
                "aggs": {
                    "Sum of engagements": {
                        "sum": {
                            "field": "interactions_count"
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

```

and result is shifted back one day return buckets from day `2020-09-01` to day `2020-09-04` not from day `2020-09-02` to day `2020-09-05` as expected

how to make result respect range without shifting and return result by the timezone of query ?
