Taskwarrior with Timewarrior - cannot overlap intervals

Question

I have a setup with VimWiki, TaskWarrior/TimeWarrior and TaskWiki. Yesterday I observed, that some task wheren't tracked, because I couldn't get a timew summary of it.

When I started those task from TaskWarrior directly I got the message: You cannot overlap intervals. Correct the start/end time, or specify the :adjust hint. The task was started correctly by TaskWarrior (I could see it in the list as "active") but was NOT recognized by TimeWarrior in any way.

I tried a few things, but I can't find unpropper intervals anywhere and I can't find Information on how to use ":adjust" with TASKwarrior.

The examplary task:

Name          Value

Can someone please tell me what it has to do with the "cannot overlap"-message and how to resolve it, please.

I know this issue is so old, it's probably solved, but for reference:

I ran into a similar problem. I'm not sure what caused it, but I think that it happened because I forgot to stop the time-tracking at some point. Timewarrior created lots of tracked days in the future. I was able to find the IDs of the days in the future by getting the tasks for the whole year

timew summary :year :id

and then deleting the tasks in the future with

timew delete @1 @2 (or whatever IDs apply)

After the deletion tasks can be tracked normally again.
