Its not time for period but i'm having one at the wrong time. its light flow, brownish red, and smelly. i am on the 3 month pill. what does this mean?

Breakthrough bleed: You are probably experiencing a breakthrough bleeding which is quite common on the modern ocps. It just means that your birth control pills don't give you enough hormones . I would address it with your doctor and ask to change your birth control to something with a bit higher hormonal dose.
