Other iCloud backup seems to have not restored last few weeks of activity data

Im not sure if this is the correct forum but I figured it’s a general iCloud issue so I would try here.

I recently got both the Series 4 and iPhone XS Max. When I switched watches there was no loss in data. When my phone came a few days later, I did the backup of my watch, unpaired and then backed up to iCloud. I set up my new phone using the backup and restored my watch from the backup. For the first few hours no activity data was there. Then it backfilled through August 2017. Then nothing else showed up for another hour. When I went into the health app on my previous Apple Watch data set it seemed to trigger something and more ata suddenly showed up through September 7,2018. But then nothing else since overnight. I tried googling the issue and did find a forum here where someone said it took 16+ hours. Is this normal? Has anyone else had this experience?

When I switched to my new SBSS Apple Watch and my iPhone XS the last week of activity did not sync. So I turned off health under iCloud on both phones rebooted both went back and turned on the health tab again on both and rebooted again. I opened the activity app and saw at the bottom that it was syncing then the health app asked me to login again on my health network account. Everything synced after that.

Last year, when I restored my iPhone X from an iCloud backup, it took 6+ hours for all of my activity data to sync to my new phone. While it seemingly took forever, the data did eventually sync.

This year, I restored my iPhone XS Max from an encrypted iTunes backup. A much faster process for syncing health and activity data--everything synced in about 30 minutes.
