My inspire HR is saying I'm burning upwards of 3500 calories by just sitting at my desk for most of the day. I understand that I burn some over the course of the day but without any exercise it seems like it may beoverestimating my calories

It's hard to say whether it's working ok or not as the calories calculated depends on your profile settings for age, height, weight etc. As you say, you burn calories all the time just keeping your body alive. These are your BMR calories and for many people they form the majority of their daily calorie totals.

 

It's worth checking your profile settings to make sure they're ok. You could also search online for a BMR calculator to get a second opinion on how many BMR calories you should be burning.
