Business Mileage of Disposed of Business

I had a business that I disposed of in 2022. In prior years I had business mileage associated with it. I had no business mileage in 2022. TT gives me an error on review that "the sum of business mileage before 7/1/22 and business mileage after 8/30/22 must be greater than zero."

 

What does it want? I have no business mileage.
