Research direction

Start by reviewing the nodered/node-red:latest Docker image version and the linked Node-RED discussion about TimeoutOverflowWarning. Reproduce or inspect logs in the reported Docker and Ubuntu environment, then identify whether the warning comes from the image or an underlying dependency. Done means the source is confirmed and the image no longer emits these warnings in the reported scenario.

Description

What are the steps to reproduce?

Not sure.

What happens?

I see a lot of this in the logs:

(node:7) TimeoutOverflowWarning: 142244018977.92865 does not fit into a 32-bit signed integer.
Timeout duration was set to 1.
(node:7) TimeoutOverflowWarning: 146813440000 does not fit into a 32-bit signed integer.

(node:7) TimeoutOverflowWarning: 119221159371.93793 does not fit into a 32-bit signed integer.
Timeout duration was set to 1.
(node:7) TimeoutOverflowWarning: 125865031599.0906 does not fit into a 32-bit signed integer.

Looking over this issue:
https://discourse.nodered.org/t/syslog-filled-with-node-timeoutoverflowwarning-does-not-fit-into-a-32-bit-signed-integer/11966

Looks like there may be a version issue in the docker build, but I was looking at the log to debug another issue and did not have the UI open.

What do you expect to happen?

No errors. :)
