my airpods dont hold a charge

I have had my Airpods since they came out several years ago. I use the left side about 95% of the time compared to the right that I only use on occasion. I have noticed that in the past several months the battery does not last more than about 2 hours or so. Any recommendations on whether to get it fixed through apple for $ 49 or should i just buy a new pair

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 13

Airpods Pro 2nd gen case battery drain Hello everyone, I have recently got AirPods pro 2nd generation and I believe I am experiencing case battery drain issues to some extent. I used the AirPods without ANC and listened to music for 2 hours and realized that the case dropped from 85% to 72% to charge the AirPods from 95% to 100%. With this pace, I can never reach the advertised 30 hours of play time even without ANC. Interestingly, it seems like the case is not losing much battery when it is in idle mode, so not being used. Is this normal behavior or do you think there is smt wrong with my AirPods?

AirPods Case Charge Shown As 0% After iOS 16.2 Update I recently updated my iPhone 13 to iOS 16.2, then i noticed that the battery status of the case of the AirPods 3 in Smart Stack widget is shown as 0% no matter how much i charged the case at. There’s no issue about the battery because it both charges and shown in widget as charging status, also it used to be working as expected in older iOS versions. Do you have this issue too?
