WPS with 3 domains

[janac4]

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to execute WRF with 3 domains using one-way nesting. During WPS metgrid step, I tried using start_year, month, day hour instead of using start_date, but got the error:
Processing domain 3 of 3
WARNING: In namelist, interval_seconds does not evenly divide (end_date - start_date) for domain 3. Only 144913 time periods will be processed.

However if I changed to start and end_date configuration, it worked fine. Why does it happen? I'm using WRF v4.6.0.
In the attached image you can see my namelist.wps configuration.

Thanks!

Perhaps it's because your end_year has only set two domains?

Thank you so much! I've been looking at it for a while and didn't notice this.
Now it works fine.
