After the recent system update my Charge 5 has barely held a charge for 36 hours. I have reset all the features to maximize my battery and it still won't work.

I have had to do a soft reset twice by pushing the button on the charge USB cable which worked for a few days and now it won't turn on at all. When I charge it to see if it is the battery, the watch gets extremely hot.

Help! These Fitbit trackers don't last long! I don't think I've had this for 2 years yet!

Absolutely the same. Even got a replacement and that is now having the same problem. It lasted less than a year each time. 

FitBit, what is going on!?
