So unless you actually have a 30/168 issue, I don't think the preemptive rest should prevent you from getting that GS over the XX day.
It appears that if the 30-hr rest is on your schedule, you will be ineligible for GS coverage awards during that time, even if the 30-hr rest is added way before necessary. I seem to recall having this problem on more than one occasion.
