No training effect?

I'm enjoying my new 830 and the various metrics it computes. However, Saturday's 90 mile ride shows zero training effect. While much of the ride was base/low tempo, there were punchy climbs, a 25 minute KOM attempt, and a number of efforts that should have logged some TE. The ride registered a 226 TSS in Training Peaks, so why didn't Garmin show a training effect?

FWIW, I did leave my phone in a gas station 35 miles in, so the 830 was out of contact with teh server after that point, but that shouldn't change calculated TE, should it?

I'm ride with Power2max NG and wahoo HRM it okay on EDGE 520 but I found same issue when I change to EDGE 530.

zero training effect / zero training load / no VO2max

I’ve had the 830 for a few weeks and my other rides all show TE that looks right. I just can figure out why on ride doesn’t.

I was having a similar issue for an activity on July 28th. When I look at the Time in Heart Rate Zones (in the 4th tab) of the Activity Details in the app, I see strange values (all zones are defined as 186-187...). No Training Load was available afterwards. It looked like my heart rate zones have been reset/emptied. Some third party data fields (heart-rate-zones-plus) were also failing (showing the IQ logo) because they could not acquire the heart rate zones. The issue was fixed after a few days, when I had reset my heart rate zones via connect.garmin.com website.

Interesting. I've double checked my power and hr zones and they're where they should be. On the time in zones tab, I do notice that the power values only add up to 92% and the hr values only add up to 87%. I understand power not adding up to 100 - I do coast from time to time,but I think I'd notice if my heart stopped beating for 13% of my ride!
