Your boiler's timer or schedule has lost track of its settings, which usually means the clock or heating programme needs resetting rather than a serious fault with the heating itself.

Monitor it

This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.
