STOP Autopausing!!! No Matter What!!! Even If I'm laying on the group!

*Even if I'm laying on the GROUND

I have an ultra 2 watch and an iphone 15 pro max. I have auto-pause turned OFF on both devices. Sometimes when I'm running I will wipe away sweat from my forehead and if I forget and use the arm that my watch is on it will pause activity. Worse yet, some of the time it won't let me know that activity has been paused. I want this to STOP happening!!!!!!

Ironically, I've literally stopped running to test the auto-pause feature and when I do that the watch doesn't always pause. It seems to have something to do with the movement of my arm. If I elevate it to high or something. When I wipe my forehead, the watch is facing away from my head (the band is what could potentially bump something, not the watch face).

Even worse, once the watch has paused, it totally messes up the split time as well as the average pace time... and I can't edit the split to what I believe it should have been. It seems to give me the split time of whatever time it takes to finish the split after it came off of pause.

The thing I don't undestand is who even wants the auto-pause feature??? Wouldn't the vast majority of people think "let me tap pause" if they actually want to take a break? Either way, this annoying bug is making me explore other options.

Any ideas on a way to stop this auto-pausing?
