Error on ingesting out-of-order samples

[ofirshtrull]

for the last 5+ days, I'm getting via Prometheus the error

component="scrape manager" scrape_pool=serviceMonitor/monitoring/prometheus-stackdriver-exporter/0 target=http://10.205.6.116:9255/metrics msg="Error on ingesting out-of-order samples" num_dropped=946 

I tried playing with the offsets and intervals, but I cannot fix this error, the error I am getting in alertmanager is PrometheusDuplicateTimestamps
and I'm using chart version 4.4.1 (I upgraded it after the alert started showing up)

here are the values I pass to configure this exporter

stackdriver:
  projectId: '{{values.projectId}}'
  metrics:
    typePrefixes: >-

and some time I get this in the logs
