BTW, besides having debris, dust, or moisture (incl. sweat) in the sensor port, another common reason for excessive altitude changes are sudden changes of ambient temperature, and wind gusts. So if you move frequently between an airconditioned room, and warm environment, or sit near a fan, it can easily add up to important elevation changes.

I know you only mentioned stairs goals notifications, but I think this is likely related to the bug that is showing goal alerts (stairs, steps, & intensity minutes) even if you have Goal Alerts turned off (Watch Settings -> Notifications & Alerts -> Health & Wellness -> Goal Alerts).

Here's another thread mentioning it too: BUG. Fenix 8 amoled firmware 22.35. Notifications about goals cannot be disabled

From reading their responses, it seems like Garmin is really slacking when it comes to investigating/fixing this one.
