Error: Ran out of valid boundary conditions in file wrfbdy_d01

Hi, I am using WPS 4.5 and WRF 4.5.1. I want to run a simulation from 2010-01-01 00 UTC to 2010-01-15 00 UTC for 2 domains. I want to generate daily output and keep all the timesteps in one file per domain. I am using 6 hourly GFS data as the input data. After running wrf.exe, I get the following error in rsl.error.0000 :
Screen Shot 2023-11-03 at 7.58.09 PM.png
I checked my wrfout files for both domains using "ncdump -v Times filename" and can see "2010-01-15_00:00:00" listed in both d01 and d02 files. So I am not sure why I got the above error as it seems the model ran and gave output at 2010-01-15 00 UTC, which is the end time defined in the namelist files. I checked the wrfbdy_d01, and it shows times from "2010-01-01_00:00:00" to "2010-01-14_18:00:00" at 6-hour interval. Can anyone please help me understand why I am getting this error and how to get rid of this?

Following is my namelist.wps:

Hi,
I'm not sure why you got that error either. Typically when that happens, it means you likely have one of the run_* parameters set for a longer period of time than for which you ran real.exe; however, you have it set to 360 hours, which is 15 days. Just check the output for that final time to make sure everything looks reasonable. If it does, then I think it's okay to ignore the message.

The output for the final time time looks good. Thank you!
