prolongation='none' is one of the possibilities; there are other prolongation types, e.g. sync, restrict, or copy.

To find out what is going on, we need to find out which thorn called on Carpet to interpolate in time for what reason. A stack backtrace or similar information would be useful.

I haven't declared it with prolongation=none, but I never interpolate
it, reduce it, or sync it.


How do you declare this variable? You may need to explicitly tell Carpet
to leave this variable alone, or to report an error when such an
operation is attempted.

How do I do this?

   Do you regrid at that time? It might happen that in order to regrid at
   that particular time Carpet would need to interpolate in time, and it
   didn't do before because levels might have been lined up at the time of
   regridding.
