I’ve tried all the recommended fixes (charging fully, disabling tracking features I don’t use, restarting, and I’ve never had the display “always on”, software was all up to date according to my app, and I even tried a factory reset; nothing worked. Now my Charge 5 is dying as soon as it’s disconnected from the charger. If I plug it back in it shows the Fitbit logo and starts charging from 1% again. It doesn’t matter how long it was previously charging or what % the battery was at when disconnected. I called the support number and was told to keep trying for a couple days before calling back, pretty sure that was not helpful advice at all!
