Since the "update" two weeks ago the Inspire 3 has sporadically synced then just gave me the dreaded x in a red circle. I am ready to flush this piece of crap!

@KristyCa Thanks for getting back to me and for confirming that you've tried the steps I recommended.
In addition to the steps you've done so far, please try to manually sync your Inspire 3 by tapping your profile picture > your device image > Sync Now. By doing this, a firmware update banner should appear.
If Sync Now doesn’t show an update banner, please tap your profile picture > your device image > Gallery. The app should show a popup to install the missing apps to install the missing apps and recover the device. If the firmware update banner does not show, press and hold the side button for 10 seconds until the Fitbit logo appears on the screen, then release the button. For more information please visit How do I restart my Fitbit device?
@KristyCa I totally understand how you must be feeling. To better assist you, may I know if tried the steps I recommended in my previous response?

@KristyCa Keep in mind that that the time will be wrong if your Fitbit device hasn't synced recently as your Fitbit device uses the time of the device you're syncing with.

After following all suggested steps the Inspire 3 will pair and sync for a few hours, then un-syncs and un-pairs.

Still no luck, even after multiple attempts to fix

Same. There's an issue with everything from data disappearing, miles, steps, badges, sleep data... I have to resync 30+ times a day, I've updated repeatedly and uninstalled/reinstalled. I've repeatedly reported the issues with no response or assistance. I'm so done!
