On rest days you are allowed / JOIN suggest to ride a recovery ride of max 90 minutes, but when you do so the training later that week will be removed. I use the 'easy endurance' workout for it.

We have changed how the training plan adapts to be inline with the description on a rest day. If you stick to a really light recovery ride for 90 min max, tomorrows workout will stay in the plan.

I will look into how we can make the suggestion for a recovery ride more clear: when you should take a day off completely or when you are allowed to have a light shake out ride.
This would be great Remy!
I often do a short spin on the rest days as I usually feel better when I get some light exercise. Most of the time Join is fine with that, but from time to time it then makes the next day a rest day as well. My work around has been to remove the feedback for the recovery ride, and not add it till later that week when I have already done the suggested workouts ... that way it sometimes still makes upcoming workouts easier, but it hasn't removed them all together.
Your explanation makes sense though so maybe that's not the best thing to do, lol.
A message when you should REALLY rest and it's best not ride at all would be nice :o)

The 'easy endurance' workout has still quite some training load, it is not considered a light recovery ride. I would try reducing the intensity even more in your future recovery rides.
I must say that sometimes I still get the issue you mention, even though I have the lowest RPE possible. The issue then occurs due to (among other things) my ATL (fatigue) being too high, resulting in the removal of the workout due to the recovery training.
