Activity App not closing rings when goal is met

So lately I have had a few days where I am exceeding my goal for the exercise ring to close in the activity app. For example this morning I walked for 46 minutes and my exercise goal is 30. My exercise ring is showing only 21min. I wear my watch each day, it is tight on my wrist so I am wondering how to fix this. It doesn’t happen every day which is also puzzling but it is happening at least one day per week. Any suggestions?

To earn 1 minute of exercise credit(green ring);

Travel a full minute at a brisk walking pace 3.3 mph or 18 minutes per mile approx.

or

5.3kph or 11.3 minutes per kilometer.

Raise your heart rate to approx 75% of your maximum.

When you're at around or above this heart rate and speed for the entire minute you'll receive 1 exercise minute credit.

If you pause or slow down during this minute then you won't get any exercise credit for that minute.

Thank you. I guess that makes sense but I wish there was somewhere that had told me that! I can’t imagine I was stopped or slowed down for almost 20 minutes during my walk though?
