Do yourself a favor when you're testing stuff out... Simplify as much as possible. Here you apparently have a schedule ruleset with a gazillion priority. Just create an IT schedule with just a "default" day, and set wild variations for it (0 until 8, 0.5 until 13, 1 until 22, 0 until 24). That way you're sure it's not because you have messed up your priority assignment.
Also make sure you are looking at the simulation itself, not the sizing day runs: you seem to also have a Summer Design Day and Winter Design Day in your schedule, which could be very well set to 1 and 0 respectively.

Edit:
Priorities are defined for a date range, and if no priority applies for a specific time, then the Default profile is used. In your case the priorities each apply for a day, so there are only a handful of days with different profiles that your default (which is a constant 1).
See the date range for one of your priority here:
You can use the calendar to the right to see what profile is actually applying to each day. You can see below that short of one week in august, all the days I'm showing are using the "default" profile (always 1).
