I’m pretty disappointed. I’ve had my ring 2 years and about 6 months ago the battery started emptying after 2-3 days. It used to last much longer. Why does this happen? I end up missing so much data because I don’t know the battery’s dead.

Edit: Used Oura chat as suggested by all of you and a new ring is being shipped to me. Thanks everyone!!

Is anyone else’s ring progressively loosing battery life faster and faster? I charged my ring to full on Sunday night and I just got a message today (Thursday) that I only have 23 hours left. It used to be a full week. I have the 4 and I got it in late July of last year.

Hi all, new to this subreddit! I bought my Oura ring during the Black Friday sale so a little over 6 months ago and feel like there’s some discoloration I’m noticing already. Is this normal? I’m a little disappointed because the rose gold one is a bit more expensive too. Anyone else experiencing the same? Any tips or tricks to help it not discolor more? 😔

I did 1.5mg of the Wegovy pill for about a week and during that time my Oura ring showed my resting heart rate was about 10 BPM above my normal baseline. I stopped taking it about a week ago to see if it would come back down, but it’s still elevated every night.

I am also in a period of pretty elevated stress right now, which I know can impact resting heart rate, but I’ve never seen my RHR stay this elevated for this long before, so the timing with the GLP-1 has me wondering if they’re connected.

Has anyone else experienced a prolonged increase in resting heart rate from a GLP-1? If so, how long did it take after stopping for your heart rate to return to normal?

For context, I otherwise feel okay — no chest pain or anything alarming — just noticing the consistently elevated nighttime RHR data and trying to figure out whether others have seen this normalize with time.

Hey everyone,

If you've ever wished you could just talk to your Oura data — "hey, what's been killing my readiness lately?" — oura-cli is built to plug into AI agents 🤖 like OpenClaw 🦞 and Hermes as a tool they can call. The agent runs the CLI, reads your real numbers from the local database, and answers in plain English. Like giving your AI assistant read-only access to your health data, all on your own machine.

Chatting with OpenClaw about Oura data

What it does

• Pulls sleep, readiness, activity, heart rate, SpO₂, stress, and workouts from the official Oura V2 API
• Caches everything into a local SQLite DB at ~/.oura-cli/oura.db so reports keep working offline
• Pretty tables in the terminal, auto-switches to stable JSON the moment you pipe it
• Generates weekly / monthly digests with averages, trend deltas vs the previous window, and short "you slept poorly Tuesday" callouts

First five minutes

bun add -g u/drakulavich/oura-cli
oura-cli login         # paste your Personal Access Token, one time
oura-cli sync          # backfill recent days into local cache
oura-cli report        # weekly digest in the terminal
oura-cli db today      # today's scores from cache

The boring but important bits

• You need a free Personal Access Token from https://cloud.ouraring.com/personal-access-tokens
• Works on macOS, Linux, Windows (WSL)
• It's brand new and rough around the edges — issues and PRs very welcome

Bonus for the agent crowd: there's an oura-cli describe command that emits a JSON manifest of every command and output schema, so LLM harnesses / MCP-style tools can discover capabilities without scraping --help. A first-party MCP companion is on the roadmap.

Would love to hear what reports or integrations would be useful — happy to prioritize whatever the community actually wants.

I do quite a bit of walking, usually with a stroller. Any way for me to accurately track these walks with the ring? I’m assuming no, but you never know 😊

Newish Oura user here! I’m trying to make sure I’m not missing anything but I feel like I’m still actively discovering things in the app. What features did you overlook for a while but ended up becoming surprisingly helpful once you found them?

I’m wondering if Oura will ever have an actual macro tracking feature in their app. The AI photo determining if your meal is “nutritious” is all fine and good, but is it really a good tracker if you’re over consuming calories, or under consuming protein, etc.?

I use Cronometer, which links with Oura and is nice, but if I’m already paying a subscription fee, it’d be nice to have a feature like that included.

Has anyone heard if this is a feature Oura is considering including?

Hi! I've been researching health tracking wearables for the last few months trying to decide if I should invest/which wearable to get if yes. Needless to say, I'm completely overwhelmed by my options. I know there are no perfect products and there will be people who love and hate each one, but this would be a fairly significant financial investment for me so I don't want to just buy one and hope it works out.

I've seen a lot about Oura (obviously), Whoop, Panther, and a few others. I want something with a strong ROI for what I'm paying. I'd prefer it not be huge and bulky but it's not my top priority. Ideally, I buy a product that I can wear almost everywhere (including strength training which has turned me off of Oura a bit) that's as accurate as possible. Data privacy is important to me, but I'm not delusional about the reality of data privacy in the US right now.

If anyone has thoughts, I'd love to hear them. I'm 24 and would like to learn more about my wellbeing while I have the ability to make really meaningful habit changes if needed. Any and all perspectives are greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know the lowest amount of sleep that Oura measures as sleep? Is it 4 hours? Last night I was up super late (didn’t go to bed until 4am) and woke up around 6:30am. When I checked my Oura app it registered as a “nap” and not sleep. I then fell back asleep and when I woke up, I had 4 hours and 45 minutes of sleep total, and it registered it as sleep.
