I just came back from a 4-day trip, and my charge still had 41% battery left after not charging it that whole time. The next day, after charging it fully, it now doesn't last 12 hours. All of a sudden, I can hardly get a full workout without it dying. Tried plugging it in again, and it's not even turning on. This all changed over the course of 2 days. I have changed no settings. It is not in "always" screen mode. It typically lasts almost a week, and now not even a few hours if I am active!.

Hello @Lisa_I24
When my Charge 5 started having rapid battery loss, I restarted and recharged my device multiple times over several days. As soon as I saw a rapid drop in battery, I restarted my Charge 5 and put it on the charger until it was back to 100%, often doing this multiple times in a day. Eventually, this process got my device "unstuck" and the battery went back to lasting 6-7 days. Although there's no guarantee that this will work for your Charge 6, it might be worth a try.
