This has happened twice in the last few months (most recently yesterday). The Inspire Hr tracker said that I met my hourly step targets for all the hours of the day, but when I synced, the server believes I missed the 10am hour. When I looked at the activity page on the server, the 5-minute bars are hard to read, but it seems that they don't account for 250 steps for the hour. There were a few idle 5-minute stretches. Somehow the tracker's reckoning of the 250-step threshold is different from what the server calculates from the raw data. Is it a bug of syncing, or fuzzy math?

(Specifically, the tracker said I met the target for the 10:00 hour, but when I synced, the iPhone said I didn't, and also my website dashboard.  I didn't realize this until the hour was past.)
