Default Static Thrust and Prop Stall in pattern setups

When I run the motor calculators, often there is a warning when I run my setup and others:
** Prop may stall -> static thrust may not be reached! (see Prop Stall Thrust) **
I actually just ran the program for an 18x12 and got this warning even on 1S and 800rpm, so now I wonder what it actually means. I also run the program on other (successful) setups and get the same warning.

What does it mean? Does anyone experience this in flight?

Also wondering what the correlation is between "Static Thrust" and "Prop Stall Thrust".

Thanks
