Time scoping issue in Mechanical Scripting when trying to access transient thermal solution

I have generated a transient thermal solution in Mechanical and I'm trying to use scripting to analyse the solution at each time point. However,I can't seem to retrieve the entire range through my code. I get this error:

TEMP:149<-mapdl::rth::TEMP:150<-failed to read nodal results from the rst file

The following code is I think the minimal code that reproduces the error on my end:

analysis = model.Analyses[0]
dataSources = dpf.DataSources(analysis.ResultFileName)

scoping_op = dpf.operators.scoping.on_named_selection()
scoping_op.inputs.data_sources.Connect(dataSources)
scoping_op.inputs.requested_location.Connect('Nodal')
scoping_op.inputs.named_selection_name.Connect('SELECTION_3')
scoping = scoping_op.outputs.getmesh_scoping()

time_provider = dpf.operators.metadata.time_freq_provider()
time_provider.inputs.data_sources.Connect(dataSources)
timeList = time_provider.outputs.time_freq_support.GetData().TimeFreqs.Data

time_scoping = dpf.Scoping()
time_scoping.Location = dpf.locations.time_freq_sets
time_scoping.Ids = range(1, len(timeList) +1)

u = dpf.operators.result.temperature()
u.inputs.data_sources.Connect(dataSources)
u.inputs.mesh_scoping.Connect(scoping)
u.inputs.time_scoping.Connect(time_scoping)

myRes_fields = u.outputs.fields_container.GetData()

Everything works fine if I limit the time scoping range to (time coord. are correct too):
time_scoping.Ids = range(1, 123)

In my case the full range is 292 time points (len(timeList) == 292), which is reflected in the tabular data of the Solution.

Note that both of these fail in the same way too:
time_scoping.Ids = range(1, 124)
time_scoping.Ids = range(10, 133)

Any insight as to why this is happening?

    @Anon are you storing results at all time points?

    Are you using outres commands to control frequency of result storage?

    @Ramdane any idea?

    Yes, I'm storing at all time points.

    I don't know what you mean by outres commads so I think that is a no.

    Here are my analysis settings

    Hi @Anon , is this a small rth file that you can share with us? your code looks correct, maybe an issue in our side, but hard to reproduce without this rht file.

    The .rth file is massive ~20GB. Could this have something to do with it, that the entire thing is not being able to load?
    But I would assume that since my "SELECTION_3" is a fraction of the entire thing that that shouldn't be an issue and that the entire thing doesn't need to load.
