Test case

You can create a following table with data for the last 5 years:

CREATE TABLE dev (id BIGSERIAL, created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE);
CREATE TABLE dev2 (id BIGSERIAL, created_at TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE);

INSERT INTO dev (created_at)
SELECT 
    NOW() - INTERVAL '5 years' + (INTERVAL '5 years' * (i / 100000000.0))
FROM 
    generate_series(1, 100000000) AS g(i);

INSERT INTO dev2 (created_at)
SELECT
    NOW() - INTERVAL '5 years' + (INTERVAL '5 years' * (i / 100000000.0))
FROM
    generate_series(1, 100000000) AS g(i);

CREATE INDEX ON dev (created_at);
CREATE INDEX ON dev2 (created_at);
