Huge drop in recovery time

Remaining recovery time yesterday Morning was around 24h still.
I anyways did a very long ride and ended up with 48 hours estimated recovery time, which felt about right,
Now this Morning I see it is only 3 hours still, indicating "recovering as expected".
Sleep was "good", but not "excellent"

Could someone explain that?

Happens to me aswell if I have very good (low) stress levels during sleep.. I had a pop-up on my watch once saying " You have relaxed much today, and this have impacted your remaining recovery" Something like that ish. I went in at looked on my stress levels, and I had been in rest zone for the whole day almost.

Yes, but normally that doesn't subtract more than a day's worth of recovery time. Sounds like the 24 hours didn't update correctly.

In my experience its normal. Happened on my old 945LTE and 7x.. Dont think this is a bug, just Garmin algorithm.

On my Fenix I had recovery time of 4 days after an interval running session, and after one night sleep it was down to 30-40 hours.
My old watch 945LTe; also a tough interval session with 3 days of recovery - The day after I took a whole full rest day. I think I had maybe 15-16 hours in rest(blue) stress and the watch gave me a notification that my recovery time was reduced after good rest.. Dont remember by how much
