History stats sensor will become unknown after the end of the measuring period

[tigersoul925]

The problem

When creating a history stats sensor which measures something during only part of the day, the sensor becomes unavailable after the measuring period ends and stays this way until the measuring starts with a reset again. Correct behavior should be for the sensor to stay at the end amount until resetting and starting over.

Example YAML snippet

- platform: history_stats
    name: Ellinore nightly screen time
    unique_id: history_stats_ellinore_nightly_screen_time
    entity_id: binary_sensor.ellinores_phone_interactive
    state: "on"
    type: time
    end: "{{ (now().replace(minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0) + timedelta(hours=17)).replace(hour=7) }}" # end at 7, at right side of dateline
    duration:
      hours: 8

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

Didn't spot anything of interest

Additional information

I believe the correct behavior should be that the amount at the end of the measuring period should remain until the measuring starts again at the starting time. Correct me if I'm wrong. The way it works now, I have to create a template sensor to correct the behavior, skipping unknown state.
