Error: “Control Override Joystick”.
I didn’t touch the Joystick.
Every test fails.
What means red marked Missions?

Joystick flight mode is a misleading name - it means the drone is in "Virtual Stick" mode, which is what it needs to be for Dronelink to maintain control. Normally this error message would read Control Override Sport, and it would happen when you flip the flight mode switch to sport. The only thing I can think of is that the drone temporarily changed flight modes, causing Dronelink to disengage, but by the time the error message was displayed the drone was back into Virtual Stick mode (i.e. "Joystick"), so that is what was reported in the UI. Are you able to reproduce this every time, or is it specific to this mission and this location?
Thank you for the prompt reply,
As I mention the Drone is in P mode, I never change this.
I tested it 3 times and the mission stopped each time on the same moment
Watch the screen recorder.
May be put a delay, but I do not know where, can you change my mission.
Thank you in advance

I did watch the screen recording, and I didn't mean to imply that you changed the flight mode manually. The drone can change its own flight mode if it briefly loses GPS, or enters a NFZ. I assume there are no errors or warnings reported in DJI Go / Fly and that you are not near a no fly zone or near the edge of the max distance setting?
Does the error happen in a different location or with a different mission?
Same with me On Mavic Mini, I think the issue is like Jim McAndrew state, at least with my flight, with NFZ. My mission was very near the edge of NFZ and it failed two times at exact same spot.
Good news: The “Control Override Joystick“ message and Mission stop is due to exceeding the maximum distance .
Bad news: If you pause a Mission and restart the mission errors reappears:
I have to Pause the mission to activate “Auto Exposure Lock” manually on the right moment during the Mission since the Command “ Camera Exposure Lock” does not work (See my previous post)
I have to restudy my Mission to avoid the use of the pause switch.
Thank you in advance

I'm glad I found this. I had a similar issue today with my Mavic 2 Pro. After finding this thread, I went back into my drone settings and found the maximum distance set at something like 250 meters. I've bumped that limit up a bit and will be trying again to run my latest mapping mission tomorrow; I'm quite hopeful that this fixed the problem. I would have tried today, but it's far to late in the day.
And yes, once I had received the Control Override Joystick error, I was unable to get the drone back into its mission. Twice I used the RTH button to bring it back under automatic control, a third time I just used the manual controls to bring it back.
A follow-up to my post of yesterday... Once the maximum distance problem was corrected, the mission ran just fine. Was able to do a mapping mission over about 9 acres, and didn't need to pause in the middle to swap batteries (it was close, however... at landing, the drone had about 5 minutes of battery time remaining). Now to stuff those photos into WebODM and try to be patient while they process.
I am new to drones and dronelink. Flew three simple test missions yesterday. Two went well but in the third I got the "joystick" message. Was able to execute a RTH command all three times. I flew a manual route of the mission that failed and all went well. After reading this post I checked my max limits and yep I exceeded the distance limit. I will test flight again with new limit. Thanks guys.
