AirPods Randomly stop playing

When I connect my AirPods to my Iphone 11 Pro Max and I start playing music, everything seems fine at first but a few minutes later the music just stops coming out of both AirPods. I have tried un-pairing and re-pairing the AirPods from my Iphone, but the issue continues to happen. Interference is not likely to be the issue because I am using the AirPods in the same physical environment, and under the same physical conditions that I have used them in for the past 6 months, and I had not experienced this problem at any time up until recently.


I also connected the Airpods to a different device, but the issue continues to happen. Can you help me fix my AirPods, please?

iPhone 11 Pro Max
