Garmin 255 showing paused screen while activity runs in the background??

I recently got this watch as a gift for Christmas, but I never got this problem until late January/ early February. It shows the “resume” screen and a red ring around the watch face to indicate my run is paused, but it still runs in the background. Thankfully I can work around it, but it’s such a pain when I am trying to do speed work. I really hope this is fixed soon, or there’s just something I’m missing….

potentially because of an update I accepted?
