[logback-user] TimeBasedRollingPolicy stop rolling after running for some time

[Olexandr Demura]

Have you checked logback status data?
You could turn on writing it to console by <configuration debug="true"> as
in https://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#dumpingStatusData
If it has problems with renaming or compression, e.g. caused by relative
base name of # in target name, it should be in status.
And compression is done asyncronously which means, in addition to it being
harder to read status logs, what it is not counted as failure if something
wrong there.
