As it arrives in your log or error chain — the values are your call's own:

partition creation cannot keep up with the id sequence -- raise PartitionSize, or run a consumer so create-ahead stays ahead of the producers [SQL0056]

Every rerun of the insert drew ids past the partition the previous heal created. The producer heals a missing partition by creating the one the id sequence’s next value lands in and rerunning the insert — once for the boundary itself, then once per configured retry (Retry.MaxRetries). Reaching this means other producers advanced the sequence a whole partition between each heal and its rerun: PartitionSize is too small for the write rate, or nothing is running the stream’s upkeep so every boundary is met cold.

Raise PartitionSize, or run a consumer so create-ahead stays ahead of the producers.
