Unexpected Warning (Max iterations)

Hello everybody!

I was trying to simulate in E+ two Window AC Units in the same Thermal Zone when I got this Warning in my Error File.

" * Warning * ZoneHVAC:WindowAirConditioner="WINDAC2" -- Exceeded max iterations while adjusting compressor sensible runtime to meet the zone load within the cooling convergence tolerance. * ~~~ * Iterations=50 During Warmup, Environment=SAO_PAULO/CONGONHAS ANN CLG .4% CONDNS DB=>MWB, at Simulation time=02/21 08:00 - 08:10"

What does that mean? When I simulated with only one Window AC it did not appear. I already tried changing the Convergence Limit to 70, but the error keeps appearing, so I think that's not the problem...

Can anyone help me?

Here is the link:IDF with only 1 AC and here is the link:IDF with 2 ACs

Thank you!
