Innacurate ride elevation

I'm aware there have been some posts on this before, but these come up as "answered". I have used my K2 on my commute where over an 11 km distance there is a maximum elevation of 9 m (confirmed by my Wahoo Bolt). My K2 however comes up with a variety of elevations ranging from 35 m to 60 m of ascent (on the same route). This is clearly incorrect, and I have tried resetting the elevation in the settings but this does not resolve it. It would be good to resolve this urgently, as I (and I presume many others) rely this on accurate elevation data for training. Thanks.

  I have created a post about this issue almost half a year ago. Don't get your hopes up.

  Whenever I start my ride, the grade jumps to about 50-70% which in turn means that my total ascent is at 50-100m after 200m of riding. By now I have given up hope that this issue will ever get fixed.

  But hey, let's make the 76th update for Strava live segments and CLIMBR before we fix the fundamental issues.

  It's true. The grade jumps at begin of a route when do a automatic calibrate of altitude. I manual calibration mode shouldn't have this problem. I think all data registered before automatic calibration successfully completed do not correct and that causes the jump
