Only had my Apple TV 4K (latest model) for 2 months and all of a sudden the battery in the remote dies very fast. I charged it yesterday day to 100% and woke up this morning it said charge battery was at 10%. I charge it 100 an 1 1/2 hours ago and it’s already at 90. It’s been working great going weeks without charging. Could this be a bug with the latest OS update?

That's odd. It's not a common problem and I doubt it's a recently introduced bug. Does the remote seem to be working as designed otherwise? Occassionally the Siri remote goes funky and starts causing random actions on the ATV4K box and/or the connected TV via IR.
I suggest resetting, actually redoing the pairing, of the remote with your ATV4K by following the last proceedure in this Apple Support article: If your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote isn't working - Apple Support.
If the problem persists, open a ticket with Apple Support and/or take it in for a warranty replacement.
Ive got the exakt same issue, charged it yeasterday then only used it for a couple of hours then today it is at 2% again. It must be a bug. Nerver had Any issue with it before
I have the same issues, tried what was suggested here but it did not work, any other ideas?
This problem just started for me. Why or how would a new pairing solve this problem?
Wow! This worked. Remote wouldn't pair because it was already paired but just the attempt to pair seems to have been enough. Thank you!
