HR sensor data way off after Karoo 3 sleep
Hello,
I've encountered an unusual behavior regarding HR readout on my Karoo 3. After putting the device to sleep (not full turning off) for example at a stop, my HR data occasionally shows values that are around 1/2 or 1/3 of what they should be. For instance - my regular "tempo" HR is in the area of 140-155, and following Karoo sleep, the data shows readouts of 50-80 despite the same perceived effort and speed. The HR values still appear in real time and change in real time but they are just wrong. Turning the device off entirely and turning it on again (with the long loading screen) consistently fixes the issue. Note that this issue doesn't happen every time Karoo is in sleep mode, but happens regularly after sleep mode and only after sleep mode.
I'm using a Polar H10 sensor. I've unpaired and paired the sensor a few times. The strap is placed correctly (same way I've been placing it since forever). I've replaced sensor batteries and cleaned contact points, and this issue did not happen while connected to my iPhone or my old Garmin over the winter - which is why I'm assuming it's Karoo's fault.
Anybody experiencing similar behavior?

I've had similar issues with my heartrate monitor lately. It happens after I stop for a break at approximately 20-30 miles. I turn off my 2 lights and radar and turn off the karoo screen. After my break of about 20 minutes I turn everything back on. The rate is much lower then. I wear a smartwatch that keeps even heartrate info throughout.
