This toy example works as you seem to expect:
library(ggplot2)
dat <- data.frame(time = factor(rep(0:59, each = 100), levels = 0:59),
error = rnorm(6000))
qplot(time, error, data = dat, size = I(1), main =" title",
ylab="Error (min)", xlab="Time before ON (min)", alpha=I(1/10),
geom="jitter") +
geom_boxplot(alpha=.5, color="blue", outlier.colour="green",
outlier.size=1) +
scale_x_discrete(breaks = seq(from=0, to=60, by=10))

I don't see any of the problems that you've experienced, so you should
provide a minimal reproducible example that illustrates the problem -
it doesn't have to be your actual data, just something that mimics it
and reproduces the error you're seeing. There's likely to be something
in the way your data are constructed that generates the error, but
since you failed to provide it, who can tell?
Q: Why do you have levels 0 to 60 instead of either 0 to 59 or 1 to
60? Do you think that might be the cause of the problem?
