Suddenly drastically low step count - change after software upgrade to version 13.17?

Since around mid February, my vivoactive 5 has suddenly only been registering ca 20% of my steps (if at all).

E.g., I just walked for ca. 700 steps, and 0 were counted. 2 km walk activities in the beginning of February were still registering ca. 2700 steps, now that's down to 600. I get 'let's take a break and move' reminders while walking.

Since problems were starting around the same time that the software update v13.17 was released, I was wondering whether that's related to that? (The heart rate measure has also become much more inaccurate since then, often getting stuck at an impossibly low rate, incl. during high intensity activities - though I guess that's an issue for a separate post.)

I have already restarted the watch several times. Not sure what else I can do to try and fix this?
