Overtraining prediction from "Stress index" in Cyclingpeaks

In your opinion can "stress exersize index" be safely used as "overtraining" indicator and if yes at which levels?

With t6- it is simple if it goes to zone 4.5 or 5 one need to take next 1.5 days "easy" how about your index?

thank you for your answer

EPOC calculatin shows you when you need to take 1 or 2 easy days, based on EPOC calculations, so my question for Andrew was if "stress index" in cyclingpeaks can predict that a well.
