Shutting off - battery

My MacBook Pro keeps randomly shutting off. When I try to turn it on it says the battery is dead so I plug in the charger but when it turns on my battery is at 50 or 70 - far from dead. Does anyone know what the problem could be? I checked my battery health and it said it was normal, nothing looks wrong but it just wont stay on.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6
