My Inspire HR has started tracking my steps and miles more slowly. My daily goal is 10,500 steps and 5.00 miles, and I typically achieve both at the same time. However I noticed yesterday that at 10,500 steps, I only achieved 4.66 miles, and everything about my day, including exercise on elliptical was the same. I have restarted my Fitbit, but any other suggestions on what the issue could be? Thanks.

@ChrisP33 Welcome to the Fitbit Community. Thanks for the details mentioned. 

I appreciate the restart performed prior to posting. 

When you track an activity with GPS, your device calculates your distance using GPS data rather than steps. If you begin moving before you get a GPS signal, your device calculates distance using your steps until GPS connects.

To update your stride length, track a run with GPS or measure your stride length manually. For more information, see Can I change my stride length in my Fitbit account?
