Yes or no (-y or -n) for Clone multiply-claimed blocks while using e2fsck -f

I am trying to shrink EBS Volume from 2TB to 1TB as we are utilizing only 30% of the volume. I have created a new 1TB volume(already partitioned) and attached old 2TB and new 1TB volume as secondary (xvdf1 and xvdg1). The process includes e2fsck -f /dev/xvdf1 (check), resize2fs -M -p /dev/xvdf1(resize) and dd bs=16M if=/dev/xvdf1 of=/dev/xvdg1 count=value from resize step (copy)

While disk check e2fsck -f /dev/xvdf1, I am getting Clone multiply-claimed blocks? and asking for a yes/no answer. Now, I know - can use -y or -n parameter with e2fsck. All my code, mongo database and Postgres database are in the same volume.

What is recommended here so that I should not lose any data and have a lesser downtime as we have a standalone deployment?
