According to the Boston Globe...the wargame specified that Joe Biden, through his campaign "encouraged the Western States to secede"... I'll let you read the pertinent passage from the article yourself...Threatening to secede? No, that would not rise to the level of insurrection or rebellion, in my opinion. That would just be politics, ugly as it might be. Actual secession, on the other hand, would be insurrection against the federal government.
"The scenario that produced the most contentious dynamics, however, was the one in which Trump won the Electoral College — and thus, the election — but Biden won the popular vote by 5 percentage points. Biden’s team retracted his Election Night concession, fueled by Democrats angry at losing yet another election despite capturing the popular vote, as happened in 2000 and 2016. In the mock election, Trump sought to divide Democrats — at one point giving an interview to The Intercept, a left-leaning news outlet, saying Senator Bernie Sanders would have won if Democrats had nominated him. Meanwhile, Biden’s team sought to encourage large Western states to secede unless pro-Democracy reforms were made. "
A bipartisan group secretly gathered to game out a contested Trump-Biden election. It wasnât pretty - The Boston Globe
The group explored this scenario: What if President Trump refuses to concede a loss, as he publicly hinted recently he might do? How far could he go to preserve his power?

Would THAT constitute insurrection?
