Hi guys, my Fenix 6 Pro has stopped recording my heart rate during cycling. Only happened in the last couple of weeks. Please can anyone help?

Check what power saving mode is applied for the Cycling activity.

It is JUST another problem besides many other problems created by the software version SW V11.10

Perfect! thanks a lot, it helped!
So summary:
- settings -> Power Manager -> Power Modes -> Add New
and then not forget to set this new mode in all requested Activities
- settings -> Activites & Apps -> [Activity] -> [activity settings] -> Power mode -> Default mode -> choose..

Excellent! This also solved my problem, viz. that in the MTB activity no heart rate was shown at all due to a power setting I wasn't aware of. Thanks for sharing!
