The off ramp to the on ramp should be allowed. The off ramp from 101 S requires level 3.

No, that should not be allowed. While it is legal to go that way, there is no reason for Waze to route that way. In fact, if Waze tells users to route off the ramp and back on the freeway, they will surely throw a UR.
But that UR there shows that Waze suggested continuing on I-5 S correctly, but the user took the off ramp. In this case, what would Waze tell the user to get back onto I-5 S?
Without the off ramp to the on ramp connection, Waze’s suggestion would be quite convoluted. Besides I don’t think Waze would actually suggested going off ramp even if there was a on ramp connection.

This is a long-running problem. Waze occasionally will decide to just route someone off an offramp and then right back on the onramp. This is illegal in many cases, so the rule is to always restrict this in the editor.
If the user exited against Waze instructions, then the user can continue straight against Waze instructions (if legal) or follow Waze instructions to get back on after the recalculate.
In this particular case, Waze probably never even recalculated or acknowledged that the user took the exit (the green line shows actual GPS position, but Waze will keep you locked onto the navigation route on the client to compensate for GPS drift). The UR was probably left for some other reason. Maybe there was an accident on the overpass the necessitated routing through the offramp (not a map problem), or maybe construction had the overpass closed (not a map problem). Or maybe they thought that was the best exit to take but Waze suggested otherwise so they decided to follow the Waze track to see where it takes them (not something a map editor can really troubleshoot without a lot more info).
Regardless of which of these scenarios was the case, the problem is “Not Identified”.
