However, `java.time.Instant` only supports `-31557014167219200L` and `31556889864403199L` as minimum and maximum values for the epoch second.

This commit also introduces a test to verify this change. This new test method as well as existing tests in tier1, tier2 and tier3 continue to pass with this change.
