Keep having “Paused waiting for 1 hour”

Rachio keeps adding “Paused, waiting for 1 hour” into my schedule, whether it be a quick run or a scheduled run. Why is that?

Say I start a 3-minute quick run for a zone. It runs for 1 minute or so, and then goes into “Paused, waiting for 1 hour” ( See attached screenshot). Although it doesn’t really pause for an entire hour, usually after 30 seconds or so the pause goes away and the 3-minute run continues, then “Pause for 1 hour” again, and the sprinkler heads keeps popping up and down until it has watered a total of 3 minutes.

Update:

I removed the controller from the Rachio app and re-setup it. The problem above is mitigated, but did not go away.
