Bug in API for Sedentary time, days before Fitbit use show 1440 minutes

[dirkjanmdl]

We import fitbit steps, floors and sedentary time from the WEB API. Steps and floors appear to be fine, but we get 1440 for the total of sedentary minutes for the days that a user did not possess a fitbit yet. 1440 minutes is the same as 24 hours. That seems to be a bug.

See these graphs. This user received her new fitbit on 2017/12/25. We started importing data on  2017/11/27.

@dirkjanmdl what Fitbit devices your users are using?

@dirkjanmdl, we checked our backend it seems like this is expected behavior.

The options for sedentary time before pairing are really either 0 or 1440, so 1440 is the current value. For the dates exported prior to pairing on 12/25, that 1440 value is accurate.

Thank you very much for answer. Wouldn't zero or nil make more sense? Why assume that the user sat all day? By the way, the device was a Charge 2.
