Conversely, consider the behavior during a fall-back transition:
<programlisting>
-=> SELECT '2018-11-04 02:30'::timestamptz;
+=> SELECT '2018-11-04 01:30'::timestamptz;
timestamptz
------------------------
- 2018-11-04 02:30:00-05
+ 2018-11-04 01:30:00-05
(1 row)
</programlisting>
- On that date, there were two possible interpretations of 2:30AM; there
- was 2:30AM EDT, and then an hour later after the reversion to standard
- time, there was 2:30AM EST.

Again, <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> interprets the given time
- as if it were standard time (UTC-5). We can force the matter by
- specifying daylight-savings time:

- This timestamp could validly be rendered as either 2:30 UTC-4 or
- 1:30 UTC-5; the timestamp output code chooses the latter.
