Calories and active calories - Not even close

I'm seeing some large inconsistencies between my Fenix3 and GC (I'm just using the app).

According to the "Activity Widget" on the Fenix3, my total daily calories burned during the last few days are:
14 AUG: 2653
15 AUG: 2095
16 AUG: 2167
17 AUG: 2302
18 AUG: 2325
19 AUG: 2378
20 AUG: 2079

Those all seem reasonable.

According to GC, my total calories during this time are:
14 AUG: 2653 (=)
15 AUG: 1095 (short by 1000)
16 AUG: 2167 (=)
17 AUG: 2301 (≈)
18 AUG: 2349 (high by 24, but I have a few activities recorded with Edge-1000, so close enough)
19 AUG: 2164 (short by 214)
20 AUG: 2079 (=)

What caught my eye is 20 AUG. I recorded two walks, at 126 and 98 calories. Total active calories for the day should be >224, but GC is showing 85 active calories for the day.

Similarly on the 15th, I recorded one walk that's showing 130 calories, but GC says I only burned 125 active calories for the day.

Similarly on 19th, I recorded several walks totalling 400 calories, but GC says I only burned 384 active calories for the day.

I'm not adding everything up for all of these days, but clearly there's a problem.

Is GC not able to do basic addition, or am I doing something wrong here?

nb, I'm in NZ. It's now Monday morning, 21 AUG.

I'm having the same problem with my active calories, on my fenix 5, it will show one amount and then when I sync GC will show a lower amount, but MFP will show the correct amount, Come on, how hard can it be to have the software show the same amount of calories as displayed on your activities.
