"Training to hard" - recovery phases are calculated much too long for me

Training too hard - recovery phases calculated too long
Hello everyone,
I’m new here and am looking forward to exchanging ideas with you - I’ve had a Suunto Race for about 3 months and am actually very happy with it (apart from a few minor issues).
The following problem/question:
My app usually indicates that I am training too hard, it shows “Training too hard” and the recovery phases are calculated much too long for me.
Example: After a 150km bike ride (in Zone2/3), the app shows me a recovery time of 120h, which is clearly too much for me. 50 hours would be more appropriate for an activity of this length and intensity and would correspond to how I feel.
As a result, the app constantly thinks I’m overtrained because I’m not keeping to my recovery periods.
Is there a solution to this problem?
For info: my weekly cycling workload is between 200-500km, but I pay meticulous attention to the recovery phases (depending on the intensity, I only do 24-48h up to max Z2 after an interval training session).
Many thanks in advance
Kind regards
Daniel
