There’s a known bug in calibrating via Zwift at the moment. However you should always use the manufacturer’s app to calibrate anyway, so for your trainer use the Elite MyEtraining app to calibrate your trainer. ---

Is ERG mode not working at all? Are you still getting resistance on climbs in free rides? ---

It seems like nearly everyone running into the calibration issue is only trying to calibrate because ERG mode is behaving strangely. Quite a few of those reports over on Facebook as well. If I were in their shoes and really wanted to do an ERG mode workout I would be looking at controlling the trainer with some other app or a cycling computer until it’s fixed. ---
