When plotting time series data and getting a matplotlib Overflow Error

I'm a little addicted, so make a note

What you want to do

I want to plot sensor data timed in Unixtime with time on the horizontal axis and sensor data on the vertical axis.

As usual

import pandas as pd
import pandas.tseries.offsets as offsets

Data = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
Data['timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(Data['timestamp'], unit="ms")
Data['timestamp'] += offsets.Hour(9)

Read the data with

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1) 
x = Data['timestamp']
y = Data['sensor']
ax.plot(x, y)

I said. .. ..

Appearance of error

matplotlib OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum

It seems that an OverflowError occurred because timestamp was a format that included up to milliseconds in UNIXTIME.

x = Data['timestamp'].astype(datetime)

Like, it was drawn when the type was converted with .astype (datetime). Congratulations.
