Now it’s working. Tks to you and to @Andrii_Magalich.  
I might have missed the explanation of the rational behind the “Potential Next Activity with training load of”.  
What is it trying to accomplish? to keep you in the “optimal” Form(TSB) zone? any periodization ( going to fresh)?  
Any possible input of Fitness CTL ramp rate?

Appreciate your work.

Best regards,

PS:

I’m confused:  
I had a load yesterday but it shows zero for status as "Next activity Tomorrow and gives me a load for Next Activity Load.  
If I choose status as Next activity Today it shows my today’s load and gives zero as load for Next Activity.
