Error "stop date must be specified later than current date"

Hello,
In the AD spinup phase of the CLM5 (CESM2.1.3) the model failed at year 225 with this error:

Code:
ERROR: Unknown error submitted to shr_abort_abort.
 timemgr_restart: stop date must be specified later than current date:
  Current date (yr, mon, day, tod):          225           1           1
           0
  Stop date    (yr, mon, day, tod):          225           1           1
           0

This is odd because when I check the STOP_DATE it is the year 1000 and not the current date.
Do you know what might be the issue?
I have to mention that the system I am running it on experienced an issue (slowness of project directory) today and failed due to a timeout error, then I picked it up from where it failed and did the continue run like before, but it fails with the error I wrote above.

I have followed the instructions on the documentation for AD and ND, and also I have searched for this error on the forum and seems like no one experienced it before.
May I delete the year 225 from my restart files and give the restart file of another year as finidat to start the AD from that? or this error can be solved with some other solutions?

I solved it.
The rpointers were all referring to year 222 and one of them was referring to 225 so I edited that and deleted any .nc file for 225 so that the continue_run starts from 222 again. it is running now without an error, let's see if it continues doing so
