i am trying to get docs matching query from elastic v1.5

```auto
{
    "range": {
        "create_time": {
            "gte": "2020-07-20T00:00:00",
            "lte": "2020-07-30T23:59:59",
            "time_zone": "-2:00"
        }
    }
}

```

and aggregate result using date histogram by interval day

```auto
{
    "posts_over_time": {
        "date_histogram": {
            "field": "create_time",
            "interval": "day",
            "min_doc_count": 0,
            "time_zone": "-2:00",
            "format": "yyyy-MM-dd",
            "extended_bounds": {
                "min": "2020-07-20",
                "max": "2020-07-30"
            }
        },
        "aggs": {
            "Sum of engagements": {
                "sum": {
                    "field": "interactions_count"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

```

and buckets that returned have **one more day '2020-07-19' before first date '2020-07-20' and this happened only when sending negative timezone** , how can i return only days within range ?!
