Zigzagging and Inaccurate Trail Recordings out of the Blue?

As of Friday evening, Alltrails is not properly recording my routes. The system is super laggy and does not always show where I actually am on the trail. For example, it will show that my trail cut through a body of water or somewhere else not even on the trail once the app finally has caught up with me. I have tried toggling the GPS from better accuracy to alternative tracking and both are seeming unreliable. I have confirmed that my battery optimization is set for unrestricted as well. 

This morning, I started my route and noticed that it didn't even begin recording the trail until a tenth of a mile in and it also showed my starting point past the parking lot. But, it was recording the time?

On Friday, I noticed spots in the route where it just simply stopped recording unbeknownst to me. The app was not paused or anything like that, it just decided to stop working.

I use AllTrails almost daily so I am pretty darn familiar with it and how it should normally operate. I've reached out to AllTrails Support and sent a log file but have yet to hear back from any one.
