Is there a bug in the Activity app for tracking my calories for bicycle ride?

Look at these two screen shots from the Apple Watch Activity app for my iPhone. I think there is a bug which is reporting lesser calories for a much higher calorie intensive workout.

activity app calories Ive noted that sometimes my activity app calorioes show numbers I havent seen before, for example my move calories for the day in the app on the watch show 969, yet when it is being displayed on the bottom of my watch face it is showing 4029. What number is the 4029 referencing? Thanks

Fitness app calorie count reduced I use a third party app for HIIT workout. The app records my activity (duration, steps and calories burnt) and sync the data with Health app and Fitness app. As soon as the workout completes, everything appears good. The same calorie count is displayed in Fitness and the 3rd party app, and I could see that I closed the fitness ring. However, after some time, the calorie count was reduced in Fitness app. Why is that? I don’t have an Apple Watch, but I do have a band that tracks my steps. I understand there may be some double counting if I use multiple apps to track my steps and workouts, but shouldn’t Health & Fitness take the maximum of all source apps, if not the sum?

Activity tracking Since the latest watch update after iOS 15 the watch and activity tracker are documenting my calories burned during a workout using the ddpynow app under exercise, but is not accurately calculating those calories under the move goal. I’ll attach photos to show what I’m talking about. Anyone else experiencing similar?

Have you tried a forced restart on your Watch? Hold down both buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons. But keep in mind that is a pretty short time.

That doesn’t seem to help. I still think there’s a bug in the algo. As everything I can think of is higher here except the Active and Total calories.
