OK, it started working today. I did nothing differently. Guess it functions sporadically.
137#! How do you propose this plays out? The only 2 rides over the last month where it worked for me were sub 100W average efforts.
I have continued to poke at this and find I can trigger positional data to save to Connect if I pause mid-ride long enough for the pedals to timeout. The Edge 840 head unit auto-pauses and speed and drivetrain also go offline. If I do this at the end of the ride it doesn't work. There must be a resumption of the paused activity with dormant sensors reconnecting automatically. (Once the pedals did not reconnect upon resuming the ride which was unexpected but this may be a separate known issue. In any case no positional data for this activity.) Not sure if culprit is pedals or Edge 840. Perhaps someone else could give this a try? I believe the pedals timeout at ~4 minutes but my last activity pause lasted 7 minutes. And 3 times before this rides with pauses over 15 minutes. In each case positional data was saved.

I continue to have the problem, only once out of 20 times I can see the data correctly. I tried moving the pedal plates, changed my posture on the bike, nothing... now I've given up.
I looked and also on the Garmin device that both my edge 1040 and the Epix reveal and I see on the device the same dynamics, so the problem comes from the pedals
