That is bad, fix it.

This is *really* bad, you *must* fix this or risk that people with access
to this file shutdown your system. Future versions of NUT may refuse to
start when this is found.

Oops! For some reason you decided to set MAXAGE to 0 seconds. Please read
the appropriate section from 'man 5 upsd.conf' again. Do not set MAXAGE to
anything *lower* than the 15 second default.

Sure it will. If you tell the server that the date it receives expires
immediately, it will happily report that back to you. What made you think
setting MAXAGE to 0 was a good idea?

No need for all this, you just messed up your upsd.conf file... :-)
