I started with 237 as my predicted ftp and as i do 1 work out, so fae did 2, my ftp decreased by 2 points, i think i did fairlywell on both hard intervals. Can anyone explain? Or the ai frp just like this after the patch? 
No body can really explain it. Itās AI . And you are 1 of 10,000 posts about FTP
Can you post your calendar or screen shots of your last four weeks of training? So that we can see whatās going on.

Are you following a plan? Iāve found that the intensity settings (balanced, conservative, etc.) will definitely make a difference with predicted FTP. Itās actually a tad higher for me when I choose conservative (over balanced). Iāve also seen how you rate a workout make a differenceāIf the predicted rating is hard, and you rate it as extra hard/all our, then FTP is likely coming down a bit. At least thatās my experience. My predicted went from 318 to 307 (currently at 301) with a very hard rating (when hard was expected). FWIW, 307 feels a bit more correct.

It is a prediction of the most likely path of your future training.
time for our weekly āwhatās wrong?ā post without a sliver of contextual information 
for goodness sake post your calendar or nobody can help you!
That really depends on how you speak. āFairly wellā can just be a modest understatement.
Are the workouts changing to easier variations?
I suspect the AI thinks you are fatigued and will blow up if you carry on trying to do harder workouts.
At least thatās how Iām compartmentalising it, as my FTP is doing the same thing.
After a period of trusting the system, Iām back to my old ways of self-selecting harder workouts, especially now that doing what the AI says results in a lower predicted AIFTP anyway.
In my mind, if Iām doing harder workouts each week and completing them without any rests/pauses, then I must be getting fitter, regardless of what the AI FTP predictor says.
Hey @richarddy25 
Iād be happy to look into it if youāre OK with me sharing images of your Calendar?
If not, you can always contact support@trainerroad.com
Note: if your AI FTP Prediction is still ways away, then the prediction will fluctuate more at the beginning. Like the weather forecast, the prediction becomes more accurate as you get closer to it, so itās normal for it to have bigger changes at the beginning vs. the end of the 28 day window.

Are you doing your TR workouts on Zwift?
It also happened to me, but since I started increasing the difficulty to 102% it began stabilizing and didnāt decrease again.
Just my 2 cents.
So today I tried a VO2 workout with a bunch of 6 sec sprints on the TR desktop app alone. It seems that the issue is with the smart trainer TacX Neo2T. on ERG mode it just wasnāt being able to get to the prescribed power. So, I just tried on resistance mode (like I did in the past, before zwift) and it worked out much better as expected.
If anyone else is having similar issues, now you know!
