I own a Apple Watch for years and at times had struggled with monthly challenges. Yet most of the time I took these challenges and succeeded.
However, starting some time last years these challenges became laughable. In the past challenges where ‚walk 250km‘ or ‚train 2400min‘ or what. This is down to ‚do 8 indoor bike trainings of at least 5min‘ or ‚walk 6km 14 times‘.
it’s no fun anymore, and certainly no challenge anymore. What’s wrong?
Well, no, that’s not what I experience here. 6km 14 times is peanuts compared to monthly 250 or even 300 I and mo wife hat in recent years. There is a fundamental change. And it’s a bad one.

Did you increase your activities in the past, without having to achieve a certain goal?
I guess, this would be the only way to change the algorithm for the monthly challenges in the future.
Maybe you should tell Apple directly about your wishes about calculating the monthly challenge, by using the Feedback link:
The monthly challenges seem to be created as a result of your recent activities.
If you exercise more during one month, the challenge for the next time will be set to a higher higher goal.
And they can be challenging. My training goal, for example, was to do 75min x 14days two months ago. Finding the time is the challenge in that case for me.
This month waking those 5km will be a time challenge as well. Usually it takes 5min riding my MTB to work, but now I will need 20min walking the same distance. And of course 20min back to close the 5km.
Monthly challenge became lame
