You need to replot after refuelling. Fuel = weight which reduces your max jump.

There's a button to recalculate the route.

I can't quite remember why it happens.

Either a heavier ship due to more fuel or the station recalculated your Cargo.

Just unplot and replot the route. Usually fixes it for me as it recalculates your route.

This happened to me when I was going along the Brooks beacons in a 60-some Ly jump range Anaconda. The galaxy map could not plot a route from the 4th to 5th beacon because reasons. Other people on stream that day decided to use carriers, because they also could not plot the route.

Ultimately I've plotted one to a star nearby no problems, them when I was near there, it plotted for me the last jump. This gave me an idea that if there's maybe a 'narrow' path to your destination, route plotter has problems with it. In my case it would have to do a 'crowbar shaped' path instead of the usual jagged-straight. Of course this is just my supposition with no proof and no further study backing it.

Sighman's got the right answer there. You need to reroute after refueling.

Also, if you still have problems, you can try going to EDSM > Galactic Map > Route Planner, and calculate the route, and if necessary it will break the route down into "legs" of what we called in Army Aviation "hops". Usually only needed when it is a super long jump that ED might not be able to calculate, like to Colonia, but can also help in situations where there are sort of "blocked" routes for one reason or another. It will be broken down to 1000 LY or less routes, so you can pick the next 1000 LY destination and plot to there in ED, and rinse and repeat until you arrive.

Sorted, I had some filter on - so the route could not go through unsettled systems.
