LP-MSPM0G3507: Why is my timer period off?

Part Number: LP-MSPM0G3507
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSPM0G3507, SYSCONFIG

I am modifying the timx_timer_mode_periodic_standby_LP_MSPM0G3507_nortos_ticlang example for my Launch pad.

What I am trying to do is set it up to use the 40M crystal and have a timer period of 1 ms. However, I seem to be 20% or so off

I have set up the config this way:

Note that it says that the period should be 1 ms

But my period is actually 1.25 ms:

FYI, the counter is set to 4999

Here is the code:

#include "ti_msp_dl_config.h"

/* ((32KHz / (32+1)) * 0.5s) = 45 - 1 = 495 due to N+1 ticks */
#define TIMER_500_MILLISECONDS_TICKS (495)
/* ((32KHz / (32+1)) * 0.05s) = 50 - 1 = 49 due to N+1 ticks */
#define TIMER_50_MILLISECONDS_TICKS (49)

volatile uint32_t SetCount;

int main(void)
{
    uint32_t setcount;

    SYSCFG_DL_init();

    SetCount = DL_Timer_getLoadValue(TIMER_0_INST);

    NVIC_EnableIRQ(TIMER_0_INST_INT_IRQN);
    DL_SYSCTL_enableSleepOnExit();

    DL_TimerG_startCounter(TIMER_0_INST);

    while (1) {
        __WFI();
    }
}

void TIMER_0_INST_IRQHandler(void)
{
    
    switch (DL_TimerG_getPendingInterrupt(TIMER_0_INST)) {
        case DL_TIMER_IIDX_ZERO:
            /*
             * Counter stopped to avoid a conflict with the timer reading
             * the LOAD value while it's being set
             */
            //DL_TimerG_stopCounter(TIMER_0_INST);

            //DL_Timer_setLoadValue(TIMER_0_INST, count);
            /*
             * By default, this should load the new count value and count down
             * from there (CVAE = 0)
             */
            //DL_TimerG_startCounter(TIMER_0_INST);

            DL_GPIO_togglePins(GPIO_LEDS_PORT, GPIO_LEDS_USER_LED_1_PIN);
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
}
