“Active in February” challenge stops counting

At the beginning of February, I registered for the “Active in February” challenge. Between February 1 and 15, I completed 10 activities lasting at least 20 minutes. However, only 3 were counted. I recorded all activities with my Fenix7X and uploaded them to Garmin Connect.

I then checked the last few months and realized that only 18 of the 28 activities in January were counted. The last month that was fully counted was October 2024.

How can that be? What can I do to stop this?

    Hard to say without looking at the data you've logged to see if there is anything incorrect. It obviously works sometimes so it isn't a general error for you. If you log all activities with your Fenix 7X then that isn't the issue here.

    If challenges don't work as expected it often works to leave and join them again. Another way is to make an edit to the activity that didn't work so it is evaluated again.

    I think I have found the problem. I had deleted an activity, which initially did not show up in a reduction of the total number of activities in the challenge. Then I completed a new activity and expected the total number to be increased by 1. Unfortunately, when logging the activity, the deleted activity was also included in the total count, so there was effectively no change.

    But why do I actually delete activities? I always delete activities when they appear twice in Garmin Connect and this applies to all rides that I ride on Rouvy. I transfer rides on Rouvy to Garmin Connect because these recordings contain altitude information and GPS tracks, which is not possible in the recordings with my watch. If I leave both activities in GC, my statistics will contain twice as many bike kilometers and twice as many activities and I want to avoid that.

    The solution for you is to not delete those extra activities until you completed the challenge or the challenge has ended. It should work just after you got the badge since challenge badges stick after awarded (at least the ones with progress bars), but things can change so better wait until 12 hours after the challenge has ended.

    Then you will keep the badge and get the stats correct.
