PostgreSQL version: 14.0
Operating system: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.9 (Maipo)
Description:

Restoring a cluster to a specific point in time does not work. The restore
ends with the error message "FATAL, XX000," recovery ended before configured
recovery target was reached " and the cluster goes down.
The same test with version 12 works normally.
