Charge 5 won't hold a battery charge for more than a few hours (14 months old). 
As a matter of fact, I can never get any of my Fitbits to last much longer than their warranty.

I have the same issue, I got mine in Jan-Feb 2022. Battery is less than 24hours as of recently.

My 14 month old Charge 5 is no longer covered under warrantee, but I was offered a 35% discount if I buy a new one.  My first Charge 5 lasted 13 months and was NOT covered under warrantee either, but I replaced it with my current one with a small discount they gave me.

I'm a long time user of Fitbits, having various models over the years; Alta, Charge 3 - April 2020 (replaced under warranty), Charge 5 - Dec 2021, Charge 5 - Jan 2022.  However, none of them have lasted much longer than a year.  I believe only 1 of them was covered under warranty and replaced and a couple others were not covered or replaced.  But again, they didn't last much longer than a year!  

I am aware that this one is two months out of warranty, but I just think it's ridiculous that they rarely last longer than a year!

It almost makes you wonder if they "Fitbit" can shut of your sport watch shortly after the warranty period is up???

With many different brands of sport watches out there, why would I buy a new Fitbit, yet again???  I will be pursuing other brands to see if they last longer than a year.

My Charge 5 is less than 60 days old and has dropped from a 7 day charge to 3 days-maybe.  
mid there a known issue?

I am having the same issue.  It started about a week ago.  It used to go for days without charging. I have turned off all the options and checked to make sure the fit wear is current.  My Charge 5 is less than 6 months old and the battery last 12 hours. I purchased it on Amazon and Fitbit will not honor the wary.   After 10+ years of Fitbit, I am walking away.  Poor product quality and customer service.

Also having this problem. My Charge 5 is the same age as yours, and about 10 days ago it suddenly went from around 50% to completely dead. Now a full charge barely lasts a day and I have to recharge it before bedtime so that I get sleep info before the battery runs out. I haven't changed any settings/GPS and previously it lasted 5+ days without needing any interim charging. I've tried restarting with the charger button. I have installed the most recent firmware option available to me (though there was one which appeared on my phone a few days ago and then just seemed to vanish when I tried to install it - this was after the battery life issues started though). What else can I try?

I wish I knew. This will be my last Fitbit

Good conversation with Fitbit Chat rep. I went into settings and turned off the Always On Display. I believe it has made a difference!
