back trajectory not running full length of time

Hi
I am trying to run a backtrajectory for 240 hours back but it stops after a shorter period of time (e.g. 195 hours for a back trajectory starting on 29/02/2020 at 15:00, using GFS0p25). How can I get the full length of time? Thanks
AHT

A back trajectory will stop if it exits the meteorological domain (won't happen with a GFS file unless you extracted a smaller domain) or the meteorology does not cover the entire time period.

Hello!

I have same problem. I run multiple trajectories but some trajectories don't complete full length of time. I am working with era5. Were you able to fix it?
