Checked with 6A, 6B and some other currency futures.
Both Z and U contract months are affected.
Volume value for 2021-09-10 repeats volume value for 2021-09-09, that is of course incorrect.
Also high and low values seams to be off, though have not investigated this much.

Also I wonder, why from time to time I get daily data files named using different conventions (though I do not change Data/Trade Service), for example:
A6Z21.dly and 6AZ21-CME.dly
Sometimes one of them gets updated, sometimes another. Sometimes their content differ. So I have 2 copies for most of my daily files because of this.

We are contacting our data provider about this.

In newer versions of Sierra Chart this is the correct symbol/file name format when using SC Data-All Services for historical daily data files:
6AZ21-CME.dly.


Formats like this are no longer used:
A6Z21.dly

Then why I get these files updated also? My SC version is 2276
Looks like those symbols are used for to calculate volume based rollover point. Changing their contents changes the rollover point. According to what you say, this is not how it should be.

You need to be on a current version of Sierra Chart for the updated file format.. Update instructions:
Software Download: Fast Update

After updating you can then delete these files.
