archivebot should not regress counter values even if the previous archive is not yet full.
In en.wikiquote they decided to finish their archive 61 and start a new archive 62 for the threads starting January 2023.
The bot however insists on trying to use Archive 61, probably because that page has not yet reached the maxarchivesize set in the configuration template:

pywikibot.exceptions.LockedPageError: Page [[en:Wikiquote:Village pump archive 61]] is locked. ***I do not think the bot should be substracting archive counter values (e.g. from 62 to 61). Increasing the number is totally fine.
I'm using Pywikibot stable 8.0.1 via git on Toolforge.
Thank you.
