How to fix this error?

Usually, you can only load date delta once per day (assuming that you
have not changed this by setting appropriate upper and lower limits).
This is because the system only extracts data up to the previous day, to
ensure that only complete days are extracted.
With other delta methods (such as time stamp), this problem can occur
due to inappropriate upper and lower limits.

Procedure for System Administrators
