Issue with setting start date outside of apparent allowed date range for land initial condition

I am running free running WACCM compset FWmaHIST on an ne30 grid using a cam development tag cam6_4_028 on Derecho. I set-up the simulation according to f.e23.FWmaHIST.ne30pg3_mg17_L135_c64_005_beres0.70 · Issue #55 · NCAR/wawg_dev, but ran from 2009-12-01. The model ran for a bit over a month just fine but then got killed before STOP_N of 2 months of achieved. I set-up the simulation from the last IC file that was written out at 2010-01-01, as a start-up run, and encountered an error in the land log file which I have pasted below.

An option to bypass the error was given by just turning off the check. I did this, and the model ran fine and the output looked fine, however I'm just wondering if there is anything to look out for with this?

I'd be grateful for any help.

Best wishes
Marcin

ERROR: Current model year does not match year on initial conditions file (finid
at)
Current year: 2010
Year on initial conditions file: 2009

This match is a requirement when both:
(a) The current run is a transient run, and
(b) The initial conditions file was generated from a transient run

Possible solutions to this problem:
(1) Make sure RUN_STARTDATE is set correctly
(2) Make sure you are using the correct initial conditions file (finidat)
(3) If you are confident that you are using the correct start date and initial
conditions file,
yet are still experiencing this error, then you can bypass this check by se
tting:
check_finidat_year_consistency = .false.
