With the debug log I cannot explain this. Before you need to explain me, if the overlay in question was used and played correctly (regardless of the given Warning). So: Was the overlay played?
It might be, that it is just an internal warning and not you, but the system tried it a 2nd time - and corrected that by itself. This might happen internally.

Maybe you had an overlay in the playlist.
But can take a look to the debug .log by tomorrow.

Maybe you can also provide me your Overlay Scheduler log file as well.

Maybe you tried to start it a 2nd time or you (re)started the scheduler and it just triggered a 2nd time.
Was the overlay effectively played or not played at all?
Note, that the entry is just a warning! Please see the full list of log entries to check, if the overlay was played at all ot not.
If it was played, this is as said just a warning and nothing to worry about.

I looked at your Debug log and it was like I expected.
The 10:30 overlay WAS effectively played as an embedded overlay container as part of your playlist.
Thus (in order to prevent it from being played again), it was suppressed during its automatic scheduling given the indicated warning log message.

From your debug log, it looks, like you are sometimes resolving your overlays to the playlist; while you also sometimes play them out via the overlay scheduler.
Note, that once an overlay was resolved to a playlist as an embedded container, no other overlay would be scheduled automatically by default.
Maybe this is because some of your playlists are pre-generated or voice tracks, while others are not.
