Exercise time isn’t counting correctly, I have walked around 90min, but the exercise ring shows 34 min only
is it possible to fix manually anyhow? Restarting phone or watch didn’t help

Based on what I have read in the replies to Workouts Not Recorded by Exercise Ring - Apple Community, unless you use "Other" or "Yoga" you have to accomplish at least one of the following for a "minute of exercise" to be counted as an "exercise minute":
I have also heard that according to Apple Support, for the activity ring to register your workout (for outdoor walk on 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, (For an Outdoor Cycle its is 9.8 MPH (or 16 KPH) and 75% of your High Heart Rate.) 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'm sure there is some kind of criteria. See the "Make sure that you earn Move and Exercise credit" section in:

I have earned exercise minutes for quite leisurely activities well below the standards suggested above.
This is one of my lazy days (walking with my wife and a short resistance band exercise) The other exercise minutes were off-workout doing shopping etc.
Was that a 90 minute outside walk workout? Just walking around without a workout running may not register all the minutes as exercise.
Thankyou!
