This is unrelated to the optimisation that you were asking about before. All that's going on here is that WHERE is evaluated before SELECT. This means that your filtering is done before the window functions are executed. This is noted in the docs in [1]: > The rows considered by a window function are those of the “virtual table” > produced by the query's FROM clause as filtered by its WHERE, GROUP BY, and > HAVING clauses if any.

If you want to filter rows after the window functions are evaluated then you'll likely want to use a subquery. David [1] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/tutorial-window.html
