Have had this happen from time to time where my rings show a lower overall exercise time than what I’ve actually tracked on my watch. Today for example, I logged an “indoor cycle” exercise for 30 min, 27 seconds, but my rings are only showing 26 exercise minutes. Another time I biked for 25 minutes and it only logged 19 on rings. I use the workout app to track the workout from start to finish.

Browse and check out the data on iPhone Health app for that timescale - see what the raw data says.
If the data is lower than you recorded also then check out the data sources, ensure Watch is top of the list.
If all settings look ok but it still behaves badly try my user tip.
Apple Watch basic diagnostics - Apple Community
That is the yard-by-yard data sent from Watch or iPhone and stored in the Health app
So in iphone...
Health app
Browse tab
Pick and tap an activity like Walking & Running distance
At the bottom...
Tap Show All Data for the raw data
and
Tap Data Sources to see which device has priority
What do you mean raw data? And how do I find these data sources? A more thorough explanation with steps of how to find this stuff would be useful
Watch is the only device listed. Tried your guide as well and no good. Will try giving apple support a call. Thanks anyway for trying!
