It looks like Fitbit decided to hack the problem quietly. Starting with the 4.17 version of the application, I noticed that the bracelet is periodically updated by itself. and after a while, the autonomy has grown significantly. And here the question arises, why couldn't we be honest and open about the problem? By announcing that they are not deciding. And now it turns out that they will quietly correct and tell users that they thought there were some problems?

Are you saying that firmware updates are happening without notice?  I've never been aware of that happening.  Is the version changing?
  Or is it possible some problems are being addressed on the back end, and you are noticing the improvements?

 It just starts installing something by itself, after which a green check mark appears with the signature "Updated". But the firmware version does not change.

I noticed changes such as: the operating time on a single charge has increased from 12 hours to about 20 hours, now at the end of the day there is still about 20% of the charge. There are no problems with changing the pulse, before it could not be measured at all, now it does it without failures.
