Watering on a restricted day

This morning I got a notification on my phone that watering was starting. I have authorized days as Wednesday or Saturday... today is Tuesday. How is it possible the machine violated the restriction I have in my program?

    Hi, Atlantauser
    Indeed that won't supposed to happen on a restricted day. 
    It might be a mobile app bug that we have to investigate. Do you know if the program really started to water?

    Thank you,

    Yes, and when i opened the app on my phone it was counting down from 24 hours... no idea what that was. When I stopped it, i could find no trace of it running or water history showing any watering today. it's really weird. I'm glad I caught it before it ran for more than 20 minutes or so.

    Oh, 24hours running time for a zone?
    What RainMachine mobile app are you using? iOS or Android and what type of mobile phone/tablet?
    Thank you,

    You will receive a notification if a program wanted to start but couldn't because of a restriction. The notification will also tell the reason. Are you positive that your sprinklers had actually run ?

    Yes, I'm sure it was running the actual sprinklers. I looked at the log data and I believe it's because it was running with inaccurate time for quite a while. Log snippet below, but leading up to this it had TONS of errors about parsing data from NOAA and WUnderground.  Then all of a sudden it appears it figured out how to reset its time properly. I don't think it's working properly yet though. The about screen shows 100% CPU. I haven't logged into it on SSH yet to figure out what's consuming it.
