Problems with altimeter

I have a Fenix 5x and there is a problem with the altimeter during the last weeks.

I live in Madrid and it is said that I am at 14580meters. I have to adjust it mostly every day. I have turn it off and restart it without sucess. Any idea of the problem?

Thanks!

Maybe that the hole for the barometric sensor is clogged with dirt. So, try to clean it carefully.

Keeps happening to me too. I have to manually set the barometer to what my local pressure is and it fixes it for a few days and then happens again.
