iPhone 17 pro iOS 27.0.1 (24A446). Background app refresh is on. Doesn’t sync automatically with HA. 24 hours test and no sync. New data added to Apple health regularly in that time. When opening the app sync is executed.

Thanks for the report. iOS decides when the app may run in the background, but a whole day without a single sync isn't normal, so I'd like to find out what's holding it back.
Could you check two things in the app? On the Health tab there's a line that says why automatic syncs are waiting, if they are. And the Logs tab shows the time of every sync. If you only see syncs from the moments you opened the app, the background runs never started.
A few things stop background syncs on iOS. Low Power Mode turns them off, swiping the app away in the app switcher can keep iOS from waking it, and Health data can't be read while the iPhone is locked, so a sync that starts then has to wait for the unlock. Quiet hours or a day that's switched off under When to send do the same.
If none of that fits, let me know what the Health tab says and which schedule you use. Until it's sorted, a Shortcuts automation that runs Sync Health Data at fixed times works as a backup.
