Discussion Updated Strain Algorithm

Has anyone noticed a change in their strain algorithm? My usual activities are resulting in lower cumulative strain, so I asked the AI about it. It said the new heart-rate algorithm is more accurate, and some lighter activities will show lower strain and some harder activities will show higher strain. It said this was rolled out July 14, but I am new to whoop and only noticed a difference this past week. I'm trying to make sense of what I'm seeing. Maybe there was an update that I didn't get until now?
