Seen the same, try and “forget device” then try and repair to see if that resolves issue.


If it doesn’t try pair AirPods to another idevice and see if it has the same issue.


If it does it’s probably time to take AirPods to Apple Store and ask to see Genius, they will check for free and replace if still under warranty.


Good luck
