What used to be an occasional occurrence is now a daily, at times multi-day occurrence. My charge 5 stops registering heart rate and I need to restart it. It happens during sleep, during exercise and even when I’m relaxed. As a result, I have multiple exercise sessions and sleeps are not logged and this is now a weekly occurrence. How can it be fixed?

Hi there, @LindaMtl. It's nice to see you around the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and for the troubleshooting steps you've tried. I'm sorry to hear that your Charge 5 is still not tracking your heart rate accurately. I understand your concern, I will do my best to help you with this!
As a first approach, I'd suggest resetting the heart rate settings by following the steps below:
Keep in mind that, occasionally, your device may have difficulty getting a strong signal, especially during exercises that cause your arm to move vigorously such as high-intensity interval training or boxing. Try to relax your wrist and stay still for up to 10 seconds. You might also notice a spike or dip in your reading as your device finds your heart rate. In both cases, normal tracking should resume shortly.For more information, see How do I track heart rate with my Fitbit device? and What factors can affect my heart-rate reading on my Fitbit device?
