Since recent update: Cadence-function of my powermeter (Assioma) is gone over ANT+ (but works over Bluetooth fortunately)
Answered
Since the last update, my Karoo 2 (edit: and my old Karoo 1, too) doesn't show the Cadence-function of my Favero Assioma Powermeters anymore. It shows the features power, smothness and torque, but cadence is gone. (Connected via ANT+)
I have got two pairs of Favero Assioma Powermeter Pedals, so I'm sure it's not caused by the powermeter, because it's the same for both of them since the last Karoo update.
Fortunately, I discovered the Cadence-function IS still working if the Favero Assioma powermeter pedals are connected via Bluetooth, so it isn't too bad. Still, I prefered to have the function back on ANT+. (ANT+ uses less energy than bluetooth, doesn't it? Also, it seems to be more stable for me.)

Hello Tobias!
Thanks for the feedback about your cadence not showing via ANT+ now. I will forward that up and check with some coworkers to see if they encounter that as well - I have a couple with the Favero Assioma pedals. If you have not already, try unpairing the pedals completely from the K2/K1 then pair them again via ANT+.
I am glad BLE still works, but yes ANT+ does use less power and can be more stable.

I have also had cadence dropouts from my Assioma Duos. Today, with the latest firmware (apr 8) my cadence dropped out while riding. Power remained fine. I rode like that for another 20 minutes until I reached a pause and then turned my sensors off and back on and everything was fine for the rest of the ride. This kind of thing has happened occasionally for quite a while now. Sometimes when the cadence drops out the power readings are nonsense, like the data fields are jumbled.

I’m having a similar issue with the most recent update. My duos work perfectly fine as I have used them regularly on zwift and have in the past not had issues on the Karoo 2. Now they will not hold connections with ant+ at all and drop immediately after connection and then continually search. My work around was to use a Bluetooth connection which works for the power but there is not cadence information. This has been the case for my last two rides.

I thought this was just a one off but a few rides and crank power meter is merely showing power. I use a single side Specialized Power Crank.
Is there also a limit to ANT+ connections? I've found moving my HRM to Bluetooth means that i don't end missing a connection. On one ride a week ago, power refused to connect over ANT+ until I removed something else! Now, i have to wait around 5 minutes before setting off before everything connects too but they have been stable throughout the ride once connected.
Right now I ride with in order of search priority:
Garmin Light ANT+
Power Meter ANT+
HRM BLE (I use Polar or Garmin chest belts)
DI2 ANT+
Garmin Varia radar ANT+
Garmin Speed Sensor ANT+
