Right AirPod never works initially

Hey all. I bough my AirPods in March of 2021. I have only used them a handful of times. For the past month or so, every time I go to use them, the right one doesn’t work unless I forget the device and reset them. Is anyone else having this problem? Or is it something I’m doing wrong? Thanks!

Left AirPods not working When I pair both of my aipods, both of them work for some time (1-5mins) and the left AirPod disconnects and does not show. :( I have done already forgetting device, resetting, nothing happened. I hope someone can help.

Right Airpod Not Working Hi, I have a pair of AirPods, and the right AirPod does not pair, meaning only the left works. I have tried forgetting device and repairing – no success. Does anybody know how to repair this? Thanks.

Left AirPod not working My left AirPod isn’t working and I’ve tried forgetting the device then reconnecting many many times but it does nothing. Plus I’ve thoroughly cleaned both AirPods including the mesh at the bottoms and left them to charge for an hour. Also when I open the lid the connecting screen doesn’t pop up anymore where I’m shown the case and AirPods battery life the only way it will show up is when I forget device and then reconnect. I’m guessing that has something to do with it but it’s strange because the right one will still connect even without the connection screen popping up
