Hello all! I noticed that my Charge 3 is counting way too many floors. For example today I passed maybe one floor max. But it shows I went 12 floors.
Is it something I can change in Settings, how it counts the floors? Couldn't find any good info about that...
Please help if you can 🙂
Best regards
Tanja

Hi there @majerlet, welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided about the floors counting accuracy on your Charge 3, I'll be glad to help you.
Your device is designed to detect pressure changes based on elevation gain, but other types of pressure changes, such as a gust of wind, a weather change, or opening a door, can occasionally cause your device to register extra floors. Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet, which is the average between residential and commercial floor heights. If you climb long staircases you may find that the floor count on your device doesn’t match the number of floors you climbed when the staircase is taller than 10 feet.
It is also possible that the device will count some stairs while performing other activities, but the number should not be exaggerated. Remember the device tries to give you credit for all movements throughout the day. You can find more information in this article: How accurate are Fitbit devices?
Note that if you want to remove the extra floors, you can do it by following the steps at: How do I edit or delete Fitbit data and activities?.

Same here.....
Sunday - 7 floors
Monday - 20 floors
Tuesday - 73 floors
Today - 64 floors (by 6pm)
What's going on? I have rebooted and reset my tracker but it still insists on counting the stairway to heaven! I will be contacting support as I think m tracker sensor is kaput!
