Apple Watch 6 Stuck in power saving mode. Can’t do hard reset and doesn’t take charge.

My Apple Watch 6 went to paper saving mode and got stuck. It is not taking charge although red charging icon turns green with charging. It’s not going to hard reset. In this low battery, it is showing time in power reserve mode but doesn’t proceed.

To turn off power reserve mode,press and hold the side button for about 10 seconds, until you see the watch restart and the Apple logo appear.

Keep in mind that if your battery is almost completely empty, you might need to charge the watch before it will restart normally.
