/dev/disk3 (synthesized):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:      APFS Container Scheme -                      +499.9 GB   disk3

   1:                APFS Volume ⁨时间机器⁩                422.9 GB   disk3s2

I have some free space(500.1GB) before the disk2s2, I want to merge the free space into disk2s2.
When I run diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk2s2 0 it always say

Started APFS operation
Error: -69743: The new size must be different than the existing size

In Disk Utility.app only show one Partition.
