What does this efile error mean? (form 8962)

I'm trying to submit my return using the IRS's free fillable forms. However, my return keeps getting rejected for an error that I can't figure out, and I haven't found any useful information on the IRS website, third party websites, or elsewhere.

The error is: Issue : Business Rule F8962-316-01 - If Form 8962, Line 10 `FullYrCoverage1095AInd` has a choice of "No" indicated, then `MonthlyPTCCalculationGrp` must have a value

On form 8962, line 10, I checked "no" because I lost my previous healthcare in January 2025, and so was only eligible for subsidies/ACA plan for 11 months. The error seems to say that some line is missing a value. But in the table that follows (lines 11-26) and part 3 of the form (lines 27-29), every box has a value.

What value is missing that my return is being rejected for? It would be annoying to have to paper file.
