Why does "aws ec2 describe-spot-price-history" include records outside the time range I specified?

Have a look at the image as it's supposed to be worth one thousand words. Has anyone encountered this? Am I missing something or is it just a glitch?

screenshot of output from aws ec2 describe-spot-price-history with red arrows pointing to records with timestamps prior to the --start-time specified

This output is correct.

The records you have marked as unexpected are the price transitions that established the prices that were actually in effect at the --start-time you specified. If these were not provided in the response, you wouldn't be able to determine the spot price history for the entire time window you requested.
