No training status after taking a rest day

I've had a Garmin Instinct 2S for about a year and suddenly I don't have a training status. I bike several days on an indoor trainer and I've consistently had a training status for as long as I can remember. 

It looks like my training load dropped suddenly a couple days ago. I'm not sure if this coincides exactly with training status disappearing or not. 

I also took a rest day (no running or biking) yesterday.

    Verify your body parameters - especially the weight, but also the height, age, and the Resting HR, Max HR. If the values got accidentally changed to some extreme values, it could have a big impact on the Training Load too. Seeing all the load focus is in low aerobic, perhaps the Max HR is set too high.

    This all looks normal. I have a Garmin scale so weight gets updated daily (looks normal) and height and heart rate data look normal. 

    The low aerobic focus looks very high because the activities prior to 2 days ago appear to have been dropped completely from the load numbers. The last couple days I've tracked some walking, yoga, and a long but low intensity ride.

    A couple points:

    • My acute load dropped from 1785 on Friday to 3 on Saturday. On Saturday I did a bike ride (load 156), a run (load 157), a walk (load 9), and yoga (load 3). I suspect everything prior to yoga got dropped from the load estimate for some reason (including activities prior to Saturday)
    • I did a bike ride today and it was factored into my load, which now looks more balanced (see below). Everything looks super high because my chronic load also dropped (from 1436 to 219) when acute load did.
    • The screenshots I've posted are from Android, but I'm seeing the same on the Garmin Connect Web UI. Here are updated screenshots from the web UI after today's ride:

    Not sure whether it helps in your case, but you could try the tips from the Troubleshooting guide for (some) data missing after syncing - I'd start with resetting the watch (tip #1) and then the hint #4. No worry, you will not lose any data.

    And double check again whether the weight from the Index scale is right, and whether there is not a parasitic weight value recorded on the day the TL dropped (for example because of a kid playing with your scale). Also verify whether the weight units, are still correct.

    Has yoga in the past been a regular exercise which you recorded. If not, then what you could try is change the yoga session into a running session. This can be done in the top left drop down menu in the Connect Web App. I have had an almost similar issue with not getting my strength training load added to the acute load. When I changed it to 'cycling' it did appear strangely enough.
