Elliptical session suddenly not counting as steps

[gogoy7]

As of last week I would have thousands of steps after my early morning elliptical workouts. Now twice this week I have sub one thousand at the end. Did something change in the counting algorithm since last week? And why wouldn't elliptical activity, which is very much step-like not count suddenly?

Hello @gogoy7 

Which Fitbit device are you using? Are you an Android or iOS user?

Same thing is happening to me with the Pixel watch 3. After I updated my steps aren't tracking when logging an elliptical workout

Hello @Connerw98 

Thank you for letting me know that you're seeing the issue with your Pixel Watch 3. 

This is a known issue after the Pixel Watch March update. As far as I know, the team is aware of the bug and is working on fixing the problem. However, I haven't seen a timeline for the fix.
