My Macbook Pro 13" needs the charger to start, even though my battery is in 55%, 20%, etc.

My Macbook Pro 13" doesn't start without the charger lately, no matter the level of the battery. I actually manage to switch it on, but once it's on the screen goes black and after a few seconds the trackpad doesn't respond. So I have to plug in the charger to help it start. What is wrong? This has started to happen after almost a year of using Adobe programs like Illustrator, InDesign, XD Adobe, and Dreamweaver. Could this be related? Is there an easy fix? Thanks for the help!

Hi,

Resetting SMC could solve your issue.
