  Cause:

  Ensure that the number of working days in the cycle is correctly defined and meets the requirements of the rule value.

  Alternatively, if the rule value is too high, you may need to adjust the rule to reflect a more appropriate number of working days.
  
  
  
  Check Employee Data:
  
  Review the employee's time management data to ensure that there are no discrepancies or incorrect entries that could be causing the issue.
