Active Minutes keeps thinks that gaming is an intense exercise

Hi. I recently bought a Charge 5 and was interested in using the Active Minutes feature, but I'm finding that it's assuming anything that raises my heart rate is an intense activity. Be that a watching a movie, having a phonecall or playing computer games. And because it's registering as an activity, and not an exercise, I can't delete it, which is making the data invalid. 

 

Sometimes when playing games my heart rate can register as high as 150 (yes, which I know... isn't good...), but a 90 minute session was categorised by my Fitbit as 87 minutes of intense activity, burning 581 calories... How I wish that were true!!!!

I can change the heart rate windows, but I don't think that's really fixing the problem... is there anyway I can adjust it to not register high heart rates if I'm basically static? Is there anyway of removing the data for a single falsely logged activity? OR any other suggestion to fix this issue... 

Thanks!

I'm also noticing this since the update, logging AZMs when stationary (it said I had 13 minutes just while I was eating dinner).
