I just re read Dave's post and I think you're right.
This is normal. Just lower the resistance while still pedaling.

Not sure if it's software dependant or not (I use TrainerRoad) but if this happens you backpedal for a few seconds and it'll lower the resistance.
Easy to get into this situation if doing intervals and just can't keep up the effort in ERG mode on an interval and the cadence drops making it increasingly harder. Backpedal, resistance lowers, pedal forward and then match increasing power.
i would think it would have some idea that if the cadence drops below 30ish with negative slope that it could assume the need for a restart from a lower power.
esp off zero cadence. but this is wahoo, no zwift - wahoo wants a power based, no frills workout.
all about software.

So I took @Joe J ’s wisdom and figured out how to program my intervals into training peaks. I am still having random wattage adjust issues. My intervals are programmed by multiplying so there should be no individual glitches. I am doing a 15m warmup, then 13 reps 30on15off with 3m rbi, repeat 3 times then 10 min cooldown. T
The first set synced from tp to my wahoo element adjusted perfectly 13 times as it said on the screen. The second set about 2/3 through still signaled going to easy but the wattage never backed down for 2 reps. This happened once in the third set too. Very frustrating as you can’t barely get the pedals spinning again as it’s stuck over 400w. Is this a known wahoo glitch or am I doing something weong? I wasn’t tired and exceeded my power goals a bit easier than last week. @jShort ? Anyone else have similar issues?

I loaded the intervals on TP and TP sends them direct to my wahoo element computer.
Let me restate that - get the latest firmware - the one before was glitchy.....

I have had two customers with an issue like this. Both were using Kickr. Both were experiencing an increase in resistance. So much that even when shifting into the lowest gear it was searly impossible to turn the pedals. The root cause of the issue was from signal interference. They were unknowingly connecting more than one device to their Kickr. Kickrs are only ment to pair with a singular device. They also had an excessive amount of bluetooth devices running in the same room. Once I connected each Kickr with only one device (had to make other devices "forget" the kickr first) and turnned off other bluetooth signals they no longer had resistance issues. After talking to Wahoo they mentioned this is pretty common but a easy fix. Best of luck, hope that helps and you get it working.

I’ve had a shit-ton of issues with intervals in erg mode (Zwift as the source). It’s been a combination of shitty internet connection (fucking cablevision and gamer/Skype happy progeny) and crappy timed dropouts (exasperated by said shitty internet). Dropped connections at interval transition totally fubar’d the set. Probably worth investigating the network stability. Eventually I’ll take my own advice..... god I’m a moron.

Thank you. I only had the element connected. My phone was nearby but but not connected and wahoo apps were cleared before.

This was a direct ant+\bluetooth connection from trainer to element
