BUG: Timedelta created by to_timedelta does not add correctly to datetime in Pandas 2 #53643

Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

from datetime import datetime
import pandas as pd

# Create a datetime object (midnight)
dt = datetime(2015, 1, 1, 0)

# Create a pd.Timedelta object (1 hour)
delta_1 = pd.Timedelta("1H")

# Create a pd.Timedelta object from a DateTimeIndex frequency (1 hour)
delta_2 = pd.to_timedelta(pd.date_range('2015-01-01 00', '2015-01-01 01', freq="1H").freq)

# First check that the pd.Timedelta objects are equal
assert(delta_1 == delta_2)  # True

# Then check whether adding each pd.Timedelta to the datetime object moves the datetime by one hour: this does not behave correctly since Pandas 2.0
assert(dt + delta_1 == dt + delta_2)  # False -> AssertionError

# Left-hand side looks right: the hour was added
dt + delta_1  # datetime.datetime(2015, 1, 1, 1, 0)

# Right-hand side appears to be wrong: the hour was not added
dt + delta_2  # datetime.datetime(2015, 1, 1, 0, 0)

Issue Description

It seems that the pd.Timedelta object produced by calling pd.to_timedelta on a pd.DateTimeIndex frequency can no longer be added to a datetime.datetime object since pandas>1.5.3.

It's not evident to me why the two pd.Timedelta objects (appearing to be equal) are behaving differently.

Expected Behavior

Running the above example in pandas==1.5.3 (and also 1.4.4) works as expected.
