I was reading the article on Strain Target, and it mentions that the Strain Target updates throughout the day? I’ve never seen my Strain Target (on my home page, for my total DAY strain move). I’ve only noticed that in an activity, that strain target changes. Has anyone noticed their total DAY strain target move? Or am I misunderstanding the article? It reads:

“WHOOP Strain Target uses your Recovery score and accumulated strain to suggest how much physical stress your body can handle that day. It updates throughout the day and during your workouts, so WHOOP gives you live guidance as you train.”
