PTHP Template: How to fix this error: "Gross Rated Total Cooling Capacity [W] will be limited by the maximum rated volume flow per rated total capacity ratio

I'm using the HVACTemplate:Zone:PTHP template and I'm getting the following warnings:

Warning * SizeDXCoil Coil:Cooling:DX:SingleSpeed DORM2 PTHP COOLING COIL * ~~~ * ...Gross Rated Total Cooling Capacity [W] will be limited by the maximum rated volume flow per rated total capacity ratio. * ~~~ * ...DX coil volume flow rate ( m3/s ) = 0.170368 * ~~~ * ...Requested capacity ( W ) = 1554.202 * ~~~ * ...Requested flow/capacity ratio ( m3/s/W ) = 1.096E-004 * ~~~ * ...Maximum flow/capacity ratio ( m3/s/W ) = 6.041E-005 * ~~~ * ...Adjusted capacity ( W ) = 2820.210 * Warning * SizeDXCoil Coil:Heating:DX:SingleSpeed DORM2 PTHP HEATING COIL * ~~~ * ...Gross Rated Heating Capacity [W] will be limited by the maximum rated volume flow per rated total capacity ratio. * ~~~ * ...DX coil volume flow rate ( m3/s ) = 0.170368 * ~~~ * ...Requested capacity ( W ) = 2820.210 * ~~~ * ...Requested flow/capacity ratio ( m3/s/W ) = 6.041E-005 * ~~~ * ...Maximum flow/capacity ratio ( m3/s/W ) = 6.041E-005 * ~~~ ** ...Adjusted capacity ( W ) = 2820.210

I'm estimating the cooling and heating loads of a generig AC split unit with COP of 3.00 during one year. As the size of that room may vary, I am using the cooling and heating capacity in autosize. Both cooling and heating supply air flow rate are set to autosize too. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? are these warnings something to worry about?
