After the latest updates, some exercise types are inaccurately counting the minutes worked out in the first 30 minutes. When walking, sometimes only about 20 minutes are included in a 10-minute walk. After 30 minutes, everything is OK. Can something be done about it?
It is on purpose. It's always been that way. If it is slow (you have a low heart rate) it is not counted as an active minute.
Only in the "Other" type of exercise does it feel like 1 minute of exercise = 1 minute active.
