Elevation Bug - Accurately recording total ascent/descent, but elevation plot on EVERY ride is completely flat, stuck at 5,276ft.

I recently noticed that on Garmin Connect, TrainingPeaks, & Strava, my elevation plots are completely flat, indicating that I was at 5,276ft for the entirety of the ride.  However, my total ascent/descent numbers are not only being recorded but appear to be accurate, as they change very little (<5%) if I use the 'correct elevation' function in either , for example, and that then also fixes the elevation plot.

Curious to know if anyone else has seen this problem or knows what may be causing it.  I attached two Garmin Connect screenshots from yesterday's ride, the first with the original elevation plot, and the second with it corrected.

Thanks!

    It happened to me part way through my ride today. Elevation starts tracking normally but then goes flat line at 3736 ft. The totals seem correct for the ride.

    It seems your problem is more common than mine based on some other posts I've seen in this forum.  I find it very strange that the elevation profile renders as completely flat with the same elevation for the duration of the ride, yet it still records the total ascent/descent.
