AirPod Bluetooth disconnects after non use

Tx2525 Said:

"AirPod Bluetooth disconnects after non use: I connect my AirPods to my iPhone 12. After a day or two of non use, when I go to use the AirPods, they will not connect to the phone. Each time I have to “forget” the airpods on the phone and reconnect them via Bluetooth. Help?"
