3Does this answer your question? What do I do when I am unsure if a carbon fiber component is safe to use or needs replacing or repairing? – mattnz Oct 28 '22 at 02:27

Looks like it’s through the paint and into the first carbon layer (but not through it).
I’m no expert, but I don’t think it’s too bad, especially in this location. Make sure it doesn’t get any more damaged (looks like the chainring or chain repeatedly made contact?) and I think it’s still safe to ride.

1I think I agree, although I'm also not an expert. The grey layer should be the primer for the paint. – Weiwen Ng Oct 29 '22 at 01:00
