I don't think it's any of those, but I do want to get a stretchy nylon strap to see if that could help. This is my 2nd 255 and the previous one was fine.
Same problem. Drop from 150 to 135-140, next 10 km at this level, and at the end of 2 hours run, show 165-170. Its not first time, appears after software update in october ️
