Exercise ring Apple Watch

I been having trouble with my watch tracking my exercise correctly for example I could have done a 15 hour shifts where I have been pretty much non stop but the exercise ring would only state that I done 18 minutes of exercise. All the other rings are find it’s just that one. Had anyone got any suggestions? I have made sure my watch is updated and that it’s on the right as well

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.
