Active calories way off

What device and software version?

Yeah that happens to me 1-2 times a week. Sometimes they are insanely high, sometimes frustratingly low.

Yesterday my active calories for daily walking dropped after a 7 mile run.

I'm not sure if this is on Garmin's list or not.

What device and software version?

FR235 latest software I think , I check for updates when I need to charge my device
about once a week . 16.5k steps now and almost 2k active calories... and it's only 14:00 here.

In another thread someone disabled hr monitoring and it helped. Before you do that do you have your resting hr and hr zones setup in connect and on watch?

No I have not setup hr zones yet . This was basic activity tracking , 2/3 of steps done at work and 1/3 at the mall after work . I have only had the device for 2 weeks and I have not been out running with it yet .
It seem to have worked fine first week . I do check hr now and then and it's between (90-120) when walking faster (almost never shows correct value at first glance , usually it starts on 72 and slowly changes to actuall reading) . On slow days at work I try to walk more rather than taking bike for ex . That's why so many steps on 5th April .
Maybe I spoke too soon earlier . Today I did 23k steps (walking) and it's showing 3k active calories . Day is not over yet (17:47) it looks like it's showing twice as much as it should . Turning HR monitoring off sounds
dull . I guess I could try but it was one off reasons I bought the watch . I guess I can setup hr zones too not sure if that will effect normal activity tracking.
I did turn off , restart and charge device yesterday but it still seem to be showing too much active calories.

I have this too on a fenix3. Turning off HR works.

I changed my HR zones to slightly different and it didnt have any affect. I picked up 300 on my drive home 😵
