Stair Count Unusually High After 12.27 Update for 955 Solar

Since the very recent installation of 12.27 on my 955 Solar my stair count has been 2 to 4 times its normal level. I normally average 15 flights per day but am now in the 35 to 65 range on basically the same routes and daily routines.

Today it told me I had 'climbed' ten flights of stairs in my first 100 yards of flat to slightly downhill running. Yesterday I went all of a quarter of a mile on level ground before it told me I had hit my daily 10 stair-flight goal.

I wondered if others are seeing this issue and if there is a fix? Thank you, Chris

It is the usual big problem of Garmin altimeters already present on FR945 and F6, never solved, there are people who have changed their watch but of course the problem remains.

No issues here in first day of my new FR955. 5 climbed, 5 recorded. And also altimeter (barometer) is waaaay more accurate than my previous Fenix 6

Thank you both for your thoughts. I found the watch is stair count challenged on cooler mornings particularly when I'm running before the sun rises. I have this suspicion that the change from our warm house to the outdoors with little transition time makes it tough on the barometer. It is a relatively new development (and certainly a minor one) and will hopefully be resolved in the next system software load. Thank you again.
