Health Connect is a container of data where apps can READ and WRITE from and into it, that means for the ideal scenario both the provider (application that writes) and the consumer (application that reads) have to be working correctly.
There have been numerous reports of apps failing to synchronize data with Health Connect due to technical issues within the HC platform itself or because of the providers, like Samsung Health not being able to send steps into HC or not updating them with enough frequency.
Finally, we'd like you to remember that we are always improving our SDK to offer the best experience, however, the Health Connect platform is in an alpha state, so it's functionality sometimes may not always be the expected.
