Have a look at your phone case, does it have a magnetic lock on it. These locks can magnetically charge the compass on your phone for a few hours before it discharges rendering the compass useless

Hello. Thank You for a message. I use a plastic, non-magnetic cover. https://www.sonymobile.com/ru/products/accessories/style-cover-sbc26/#specifications. After the calibration in the Google maps application, the compass shows the direction more or less accurately. But the application still reports that the accuracy of the compass is low.
