Hello,

I am running ROS melodic on a jetson TX2. I have been getting this error while I am trying to perform autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance.

tf exception that should never happen for sensor frame: , cloud frame: chassis, lookup would require extrapolation into the past. requested time 1628682262.496646643 but the earliest data is at time 1628682262.665975198, when looking up transform from frame [chassis] to frame [odom] site:answers.ros.org

I have tried all possible solutions like ros::Time(0) but I haven't written any custom code which requests for this kind of transform. I am attaching my costmap common params and both local and global params. I get this error when I use Non Persistent Voxel Layer in the local costmap. When I use Spatio Temporal Voxel Layer in the Local Costmap, I don't get this error. Can't add files because I don't have enough points so please don't mind:

Please let me know how to solve this error as I want to use Non Persistent Voxel Layer in my local costmap over STVL. Thanks in advance.
