Some questions about error about schedule

holle everyone, I have just started learning Open Studio and encountered some problems while conducting simulations. The error report is presented below. May I ask what is the reason for this situation? How should it be modified?

These warnings are raised (Line ~3458) when there is a mismatch between simulation timesteps and sub hourly schedule specifications. In your case, you may be running 6 timesteps per hour (i.e. each timestep == 10 minutes), while "day" schedule entries remain based on 15 minutes. The simplest is to modify the simulation timestep to e.g. 15 (or 5) minutes.
