Overreaching Training Status due not use the watch

Hello!
Due to a technical problem I had to take my watch in for service and I couldn't use it for 8-10 days.
During those days I continued with my usual training but obviously without recording these activities. My problem is that now, despite continuing with my usual routine, the watch tells me in Training Status that I'm in Overreaching with a high workload for several days.
I know it's logical because it didn't have information about my past activities but is there any workaround to solve this bad estimation in these things or do I just have to wait for everything to normalize as the days go by?
Thanks!

    You could have paused the training status when you sent the watch for service.

    Now, I don't think you have any option other than to wait.

    Good point, I actually missed it but I've learned it for next time. Thanks!

    I think that does not help, either, as even though you pause your training status, both the chronic and acute load decrease during this period (in the background) and when you are starting to train again after the pause, these two values are at a rather low level (depending of course on the duration of the pause). I just experienced that recently, when I paused training status due to an infection, and when I started training again, both values (chronic and acute load) were significantly lower. Im my case it even makes sense, as you should not start intense training immediately after an infection, but in your case I think you just have to sit it out as the watch cannot know if you just did not train or no training was recorded...

    Yes, thank you, I understand that the device cannot do magic and know what I did when I did not use the watch and I have come to the conclusion that perhaps another option could be to have at least two Garmin watches, even if it is a lower range one, and have it for service cases like this. I should see if it is justified or not since so far I only had this problem once.
