Timeline 2 has visibly reached its end at segment
000000020000179A000000F8 and it cannot find in the archive the history
file to see from which timeline it needs to fetch afterwards. As the
timeline file cannot be found, it then attempts to fetch the segment
that it thinks is complete from the master itself.

Didn't you trigger a promotion which would make the master reach the
timeline 3? And are you sure that 00000003.history is not in the
archives?
