You started a game and didn't finish it before the hourly reset. Timers may always be a few seconds off due to the way things trigger, so playing an hourly with less than 2 minutes remaining always runs a chance that you run into this. You're not losing anything except the time it takes to play if you try however - if you fail, you just didn't succeed at squeezing in a last second game for the just expired hour, the same result as if you hadn't tried at all.
