VO2 max steadily rising since 20.16 when using a stryd

Since version 20.16 my VO2 max has risen  by 4 points in a few weeks. This is continuing in version 20.22 since yesterday. Also performance condition has values up to +14. Even when doing a slow run it is +6 or more. This has also been reported in the beta forums, and is happening om Fenix 6 series also. Only seems to be a problem when using a stryd.

is the development team aware of this? It seems strange to me that data which is unrelated to Garmin data can influence its analysis.

    my VO2 max not rising, but primary benefit is wrong.

    Did a couple of DSW base runs. All of them were labelled Tempo for primary benefit.

    No change of MaxHR, similar HR and Pace, Stryd, 3s Pace setting, H10 and F7s Pro, 21.19

    If it helps, I can provide FIT files for Garmin to troubleshoot

    I downgraded from 21.16 to 19.34 and did a DSW base run. The result was back to normal: primary benefit was base instead of tempo, a little drop on the 4-week VO2max curve, stamina and potential aligned well, and no big jump of performance condition. 

    I also compared it with a similar run done with the 21.19 software. The excercise load in 21.19 vs 19.34 was 45 vs 68. In other words, the similar work effort is 19.34 was counted less in 21.19.

    As someone reported downgrading to 19.41 also fixed the problem, it's fair to say something went wrong since 20.xx. I hope Garmin can fix it soon
