Re-join a challenge

Does anyone know of any way to rejoin a weekly challenge? I opted out to early on a Monday thinking I was opting out of the upcoming week. According to a chat with Garmin support, it is not possible to re-join. Does anyone have a work around for this? Please please. Put a lot of work into this weeks challenge.

Well, I do not know whether it changed recently, but in the past I did not have any problems joining a new Weekly Steps Challenge, when I left it. If it really does not work for you, then I'd tell that you just have to wait till the next week, and then try it again.

Are you referring to the Weekly steps challenge? https://connect.garmin.com/modern/auto-challenge

I joined, left and re-joined a couple of times without any issues. I got into this week's challenge every time.

Leaving and joining during the week is not the issue. That is fine. It was on a Monday at around 10:00 AM. The previous week was technically finished, but still in "evaluation" mode. And since it had officially ended, I could not re-join. So never opt-out of the next week until the final result are compiled from the previous week. It was very frustrating since I had over 160k steps. I know it's silly, but I really wanted to see the final results.

Yes, you indeed cannot join a Challenge once it is closed. It is not a drama, though - you improved your fitness with the increased effort, so the main purpose was fulfilled. And you can do another challenge every week.
