Why does my Charge 6 pause at random time?

So frustrating, went for a short walk behind my house. Wanted to see how long it was. Turned in my workout option and hit play icon. Timer starts, get halfway maybe. Said 4-5 minutes. So I put my glove back in. Timer was still going. Then somewhere between there and back at my house it had paused like 10 seconds after I looked at it. And I don’t think it was my sleeve on my jacket because it’s done it before just wearing a light on sleeve. It’s like it thinks I’ve stopped moving so it pauses. Is that a feature?

Either your glove is pressing the button (which likely is if you wear it on the right wrist but the skin of your forearm may do the same thing on the left wrist) or your sleeve (if it covers the watch) swipes the screen and pauses your walk. This has been a problem with many Fitbits. Charge 6 has no auto-pause feature for the Walk activity. It has auto-stop which will terminate tracking if you're inactive for 10 minutes so that's not it.
