 ### Fixed
 
+- [#7011] (https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/pull/7011) Query Frontend: queries with negative offset should check whether it is cacheable or not.
 - [#6874](https://github.com/thanos-io/thanos/pull/6874) Sidecar: fix labels returned by 'api/v1/series' in presence of conflicting external and inner labels.
