Training Status "Flip Flop"?

I get the Training Status feature is suggested guidelines to follow and to be taken with a grain of salt, but the following has me shaking my head.  About a week and a half ago my status read "Maintaining".  That was fine and based on my workouts, what I believe it should be.  In a few days span I did a threshold run and two HIIT cardio workouts.  My status dropped to "Unproductive", Low Aerobic Shortage.  GCM was showing, "It looks like your training load is too focused on high intensity activities.  Consider mixing in more low aerobic activities to be more productive."  OK.  This too made sense based on my recent workouts.  So, yesterday I went on a very slow 3 mile run staying in my HR zone 2 and barely going in to zone 3.  I still had the same message.  I just went on a casual 8 mile bike ride never going higher than my zone 2 and now I'm getting "Unproductive", High Aerobic Shortage.  "It looks like your training load is too focused on low intensity activities......  I feel like I'm trapped in a revolving door.  Relaxed

    Yes. You can pause the training status feedback. It will still record it but the daily feedback, or insults, will stop.

    I get the same thing and it seems to be based purely on pace. It's weird to me that my watch expects my pace on a 4km run to be the same as a 13km one. I've looked at heart rate stuff and my hr was lower throughout the moderately paced longer session. The only significant difference was pace which was a deliberate choice, as, you know, I struggle to match my 4km average over more than triple the distance. Weird setting!
