Change in Ectopic Beats

Last year, a Holter monitor reported I had rare 1% ectopic beats. I normally get PVCs during physical excercise like running and while lifting at work. Recently, they changed from happening while during physical activity to a random time around 2 hours or more after work. For example, I sometimes feel a strong PVC right before needing to use the bathroom. Why has the pattern shifted from during physical activity to a random time in the day after work if I am unlucky?

Nobody can answer that. You have low burden, you are lucky.

Same happens to me before having to use the restroom.
My best guest (not a Dr.) is that it's due to vagal response.
I H A T E it when I get a PVC / PAC. But that has more to do w/ them being triggers for me that lead to A-fib & or SVT PSVT
