iihOttea, My reply was to davesearth1 and not you. I apologize for the confusion. 

[MMJK]

Your comment seems incredible to the extent it seems to be a lie. And, if you read other comments, the Fitbit Inspire3 is inaccurate.

Ohh okay! No worries

Mine was doing the same a month ago fir over a,week. I ended up getting the
device off and re connecting. For that I did get in touch with tech support
by phone. And finally worked

I’ve seen this posted by others too. Rightness and sleep numbers do not populate when the app is refreshed. If I go into each section like sleep and look at a weak view and come back to the main landing page for the software, it magically appears. There seems to be a glitch with sleep and readiness When refreshing.

The latest update has made my fit bit useless for what I wanted. Previously at a glance I could see my workout levels and Heart rate. now it is not clear, not in one screen and generally very annoying.

Why change to something worse?

[Marhier]

Since the recent update, my FitBit's battery life has dropped significantly from 8 days to just 2–3 days. I primarily use the device to track steps and occasionally activate it for gym workouts.

The device is just over a year old, and I’ve always kept it in sleep mode unless manually turned on. It doesn’t wake when I move my wrist to check it, and I don’t use auto-tracking for workouts—everything is set to manual. Given these settings, I don’t believe the battery's degradation is due to age, especially since it maintained an 8-day lifespan before the update.

I’ve also tried restarting the device, but the issue persists.

What steps can I take to resolve this?

[Barb_M]

Since the update the food graph from previous days has disappeared. I cannot get to the top of my favorite foods. If I search for foods with the magnifying glass I cannot scroll to the first couple of finds.

This is for my Inspire 3 and using the app on my Google Pixel phone.
