Syncing issues with FitBit

Lately it seems like MFP isn’t syncing with my Fitbit. I’ve tried unpairing them and reconnecting them and that works for a while. But the issue occurs again and seemingly more frequently. Any help would be appreciated

    i have had the same issues. once i revoke and reconnect it updates the steps but wont update the steps after that unless i do the revoking again. its also not adjusting the calories.

    It's under maintenance for a week. Helpdesk says it will sync sporadically but not to revoke and reconnect because it will back it up further

    I am gonna tell you what I did. I found another app the syncs with Fitbit and MFP. It is called PACER. I used this app to sync with my fitbit then changed my step counter on MFP to the Pacer app and I seem to now be getting steps counted as well as calories counted. Kind of a pain, but it is a way around it that does not cost anything, but your time and trouble.

    I am using it for the step count and sync with MFP only, but it has other features as well. It does have ads and of course a premium paid no ad choice.

    I notice that the app works to log my food but the computer browser version does not. as for steps I cant say as I havent gotten enough in today to tell
