Trainer reporting way too much power

My CycleOps M2 trainer all of a sudden is reporting way too much power output.

I was on a Richmond course and on warming up my cadence was about 45-60 rpm and the trainer said I was making about 340 watts. This is physically impossible.

I restarted my (old) MacBook and unplugged and replugged the trainer and it still had the issue. I haven’t the slightest idea how to fix this. The trainer had been working just fine up until today.

Re-calibrate it?

I used the Saris app to update the firmware and recalibrate. I guess it worked, and apparently the trainer had been running hot for a long time. :man_shrugging:t2:
