This isn't necessarily wrong but yes, I do think it is an user error.

This is a good indication that heartbeat==36 is wrong.

Running rrdtool update every 'x' seconds where x > heartbeat will result
in unknown values.

Running rrdtool update every 'x' seconds where x < step size is OK and
can for instance be used when 64-bit counters aren't available and the
amount of traffic causes 2 counter wraps per run.
