I logged a 5.7 mile bike ride (45minutes) with an average heart rate of 147, yet my apple watch only counted 10 minutes to my exercise ring? It’s been doing this the past few days and it’s very frustrating.

I have heard that according to Apple Support, for the activity ring to register your workout (for outdoor walk or exercise ring) you need to maintain a speed of approximately 3.3 mph or faster and increase your heart rate to approximately 75% of your High Heart Rate (from the iPhone Watch > Heart app). This definition of a "brisk walk" is to encourage you to put more effort into the walk, If you slow down or pause, the watch will stop giving you exercise credit, It will still measure your steps and calories burnt but will not give you any credit towards the exercise ring or workout app. A brisk walk speed is different for everybody as the watch takes into account your age, sex, weight, and heart rate which is why it is important to calibrate the watch and have the correct details set up in the Health app,
I can't vouch for any of those specific numbers, but I feel sure there is some kind of criteria. See the "Make sure that you earn Move and Exercise credit" section in:

You should also make sure your watch is calibrated:

Take care
This was my workout tonight, my heart rate averaged 155 and my speed 8.8mph. I calibrated my watch as instructed and also updated my watch, my high heart rate is also set at 100. I only received exercise credit for 15 minutes which I find very frustrating
I believe the heart rate sensor is mostly accurate, I was working very hard and I have also had an EKG monitor before for a high heart rate so this is normal for me. The EKG didn’t show anything so I’m trying to get more cardio in to lower it. Either way, I think it should have counted more than 15 minutes.
It doesn't seem like an 9 mph bike ride should raise your heart rate that high. You may actually have a problem with the heart rate sensor instead of the exercise ring.
