You are missing other options for which you need to specify like VG Max Extents
currently set to (131072 * 8 MB), which is same as VG Max Size.

Read the docs. Changing volume group properties requires adjusting multiple volume group parameters (VG max size, max extent, extent size).
Best is configure those during creation of volume group, altho 2.x lvm relaxes the umount/deactivation for changing of vg if possible.

If you just do a vgcreate <vg> <disk> it will create those limits by default based on that one disk properties.
Adding multiples disks will change that behavior the layout like vgcreate <vg> <disk1> <disk2> <disk N> based, again, on the size of those.
This is documented in manual of vgcreate as default values for each switches you do not specify and their correlation / dependance (you specify one, other is being generated based on that value if not specified etc.)

Conclusion being, plan ahead and configure your volume group with all the possible options you might need in the future, don't let 'defaults' take over on everything.

Now you probably have new volume group with one 3 TB volume with max extents 3 TB and max volume group size of 3 TB or ?
