Getting Multicall chunk failed error for historical block numbers

[ashrita-systango]

I have written a function that takes multiple wallet/account address, token address & block number, then it prepares a multicall & call the function. For recent block numbers I get the proper result but for block number which are old like block numbers from 2017 or 2018 it gives below error. If I make the same contract function call via curl with eth_call method it works as expected.

I am getting error till block number 7256659 on ethereum.

Error Message I received:

Node Multicall Service  | multicall chunck failed: Error: Returned values aren't valid, did it run Out of Gas? You might also see this error if you are not using the correct ABI for the contract you are retrieving data from, requesting data from a block number that does not exist, or querying a node which is not fully synced.

Sample code that I have written:

const w3 = new Web3()
nodeProviderUrl = ""
const contractAddress = "0x8d035edd8e09c3283463dade67cc0d49d6868063"
const provider = new Web3ProviderConnector(new Web3(nodeProviderUrl));

const gasLimitService = new GasLimitService(provider, contractAddress);
const multiCallService = new MultiCallService(provider, contractAddress);

let gasLimit;
gasLimit = await gasLimitService.calculateGasLimit();

addressMapList = [{"walletAddress": "0x536480A12fa7A2934872448752F864Cd0F9ba796", "tokenAddress": "0xa74476443119a942de498590fe1f2454d7d4ac0d"}]
blockNumber = 4310318

async function tokenBalanceMulticall(addressMapList, blockNumber) {
    const requests = addressMapList.map((addressMap) => {
        return {
            to: addressMap.tokenAddress,
            data: provider.contractEncodeABI(
                [{"constant":true,"inputs":[{"name":"_owner","type":"address"}],"name":"balanceOf","outputs":[{"name":"balance","type":"uint256"}],"payable":false,"stateMutability":"view","type":"function"}],
                addressMap.tokenAddress,
                'balanceOf',
                [addressMap.walletAddress]
            ),
            gas: 30_000
        };
    });

    const params = {
        maxChunkSize: 5000,
        retriesLimit: 3,
        blockNumber: blockNumber,
        gasBuffer: 100_000
    };

    const response = await multiCallService.callByGasLimit(
        requests,
        gasLimit,
        params
    );
    return response;
}

Curl command for eth_call method:
