np.datetime64
array produces the wrong value #10019whats-new.rst
This calculates the mean out of min and max years and uses that as the offset, effectively moving the offset right in the middle of the available datetime64. This decreases the maximum value of the calculated timedelta64 values by half, such that overflow is prevented.
