Error description
Custom reports were defined with Spectrum Control 5.3.x. After upgrading to Spectrum Control 5.4.1, the existing custom reports had new columns added to them: "Capacity-to-Limit" and "Recent Fill Rate". These are new columns available starting with Spectrum Control 5.4.0 and will be included by default with new reports. However, they should not be automatically added to existing custom reports.
Local fix
Modify the custom report to remove the unwanted columns and save.
