Right airpod only charging to 80%, left airpod charging to 100%

Question

Right airpod only charging to 80%, left airpod charging to 100%

Hi all,

I am encountering a problem with my Airpods 3 where my right airpod is only charging to 80% while my left airpod charges all the way up to 100%. This causes the two airpods to have different batteries. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have tried turning off Optimized Charging and this temporarily fixed my problem. Both airpods charged to 100%. However, the next time I used them (after turning on Optimized Charging again) the same scenario where only the right airpod stays at 80% happened.

I would rather have them both stay at 100% or 80%. Can anyone advise on this? Why is this happening?

Thank you in advance!

Clean the Case:

Seems there is debris in the AirPods Case. So, open it up, and get debris out. Get a wooden took top, and a bring light in there, seeing if there is anything you get tap to pull out of it. No success? Use an ear swab to get the rest of it out.
