Calorie count changed for no apparent reason

I do water jogging. The Alta HR isn't waterproof so it stays in my locker and after my workout I log my info manually. Until late Oct 2019 a 30 minute workout would show that I burned 143 calories. Since then for no apparent reason it now shows that I burn 32 calories for the exact same workout! I've called customer support multiple times and they have no explanation for why it changed. I've checked all my personal info and it is correct. I've reset the Fitbit many times too. Has anyone else had this problem and were you able to fix it?

I got a new phone and will be reinstalling the app. I'll let you know if
anything changes.

Some history. The calorie count dropped from 143 calories for a 30 minute
water jogging workout to 32 calories for the exact same workout in late
Oct. It has remained 32 calories ever since. I've called customer service
many times and nothing has changed.

Take care,

Julie
