Battery Issues with MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)

I have an older Mac but it has had no issues whatsoever since I've had it, let alone battery issues. Last night I simply closed the screen and went to bed, then this morning I figured it had died overnight so I plugged it in as I normally do. After powering up, I notice that it has an exclamation mark over the battery and it says that battery service is recommended and that it is not charging. Overnight the battery seems to have completely gone on me, without any prior issue/warning and now it'll only work if plugged in. Any idea if this has a fix that isn't a battery replacement? Why would a battery that has had no issues up to this point completely go from one night to the next, just seems a bit odd to me...

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0
