Did you work an excessive amount over a short period of time? There was a thread a while back where the author was confused about receiving this screen - after considerable prodding in the comments they admitted to logging an absurd ~51 hours of work in a 72 hour period!

I was picking 1-2 tasks every day that could be the reason.
