frequent "ride paused/resumed" since last update

Last 3 days I get 20-30+ notifications about 'ride paused 'ride resumed on a 2 hour ride.  The messages are usually are about 1-5 seconds apart.   Then when today's ride was over,  it gave me extra mileage for an identical route and faster speed (by 1 mph) than I've ever clocked. Based in how I felt today, I would have guessed I had lower than average speed .

I live in metro Atlanta and have a strong signal the whole way.  Never heard this message before 3 days ago, unless I really had stopped/resumed.

Anyone else experienced this?

Hi ​@Davmil2002,

on what device is this happening? Depending on that, the first step would be checking whether you have the latest version of Strava installed, and making sure that there's no battery-saving mode enabled. If you add the device details, perhaps someone will have a more specific advice.

Also, if it only happened once, you can try fixing the activity by using the “correct distance” feature (that should also recalculate the speed); note, it's on the website only, not in the mobile app:

Thanks for the suggestions.  Strava updated the app again the next day and the issues all went away.  I think a bug-a-boo must have slipped in & gotten fixed immediately.  Occasionally it’ll give me the message when I go through a tunnel, but that’s understandable.
