Macbook sleeps and thinks battery is dead after waking up from sleep

I have a Mid 2015 Macbook Pro that is having a strange issue - if the computer has maybe half or less of a charge on the battery, and then goes to sleep, whenever I wake it up again on battery power it will almost immediately (a few seconds) go back to sleep. Then when I push the power button it shows the graphic that indicates the battery is dead and needs to be charged. However the battery is not dead, and when I plug it in and start it back up it confirms that there is still a good amount of battery left.

If I start from 100%, I can use the computer on battery power all the way until it is essentially dead, so I don't think this is the battery. It only happens after waking up from sleep with a partial charge. Coconut battery confirms that my battery is fine.

Any thoughts? Really annoying problem that cripples the charger-free use of the machine.

I would never advise to run a battery down to "essentially dead."

Verify the condition of the battery fromm the BATT icon in the upper right menu bar holding the Option key

You can try resetting the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964

for power management issues.
