Can you share how you learned that 15.20 was withdrawn for this reason?

for personal experience and from other forums reporting the same problem: fenix 5x plus v15.20, fenix 5x v22.20. https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/outdoor-recreation/f/fenix-5-plus-series/263556/altimeter-problem-after-upgrade-to-15-20-firmware ...and https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/outdoor-recreation/f/fenix-5-series/263547/altimeter-problems-after-firmware-22-20-for-garmin-fenix-5x

I suppose it is so but the coincidences are many and quite evident

... and how does one revert to 14?

First try to connect the watch to garmin express via pc and synchronize, maybe the reset is automatic. As a second method download the 15.00 beta version and unzip it https://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=14335 drop the gupdate.gcd file found in the System_Backdate_v14.00 folder in the \GARMIN directory of the watch.

when you disconnect the watch from the pc it will ask you to install the new software 14.00 and that's it.

Thanks, I'll try that.

I downgraded to v14 on my 5s+ as I was fed up with the altimeter issue.

Nevertheless this problem has started for me before 15.20 - I had already the issue with 14.73 I think
