AI FTP Detection decrease by 15%

[Janni10]

Hi!
I received the latest update yesterday, and the new FTP Detection feature has reduced my FTP from 270 to 229 watts. It might be because I’ve had two illnesses in the last few weeks.

My FTP was 291, then I got Covid, and after I returned to training, my FTP was detected at 276, which seemed fine after a couple of workouts. Unfortunately, I got flu again after three weeks. After doing some endurance work last week, I tried a sweet spot session on Monday, which felt too intense. My FTP decreased to 270, and yesterday I did a sweet spot session which felt moderate. I thought a further decrease of about 10 watts would be reasonable, but a decrease of 40 watts seems too high.

What can I do? Could someone look into it?

Thanks and best regards!

The AI had dropped my FTP by 80 watts and then is predicting it will increase again by 42% in 3 weeks. That makes no sense
