@Sayf, everything is well copied, the total size uncompressed is around 55MB, the same on the server. Moreover, that shouldn't be a problem cause the whole thing initially worked the night.
@Julius, I set retention time to 30 days, still the same. I tricked the system time, I set it to the time of the collection (basically the container gets the same time as the host). Now the garbage collector is not called anymore but I still can't see the data. Prometheus returns with status:"success" but the result vector is empty.
