My mistake. The time looks fine. Now I understand what your code does.

You might want to use TSSetTimeStep() to change the step size and there is no need to have loops. You can define a TSPostStep function and call TSSolve() just once. When solving a DAE, each call to TSSolve() would trigger a restart step internally to calculate an initial slope for the DAE. I suspect that the jump was caused by these restart steps.
