Macbook Pro screen goes black randomly when not plugged in to charge.

And it's never because of a low battery. It's as if it goes to sleep and nothing makes it come back on unless I plug it in to charge.

I do have a "service battery" notification but first I want to check if the problems are related...

2015 Macbook Pro Screen hoes black at 30% Battery Every once in a while my screen goes black on about 30% battery and it won’t come back on until I plug the computer in. I saw a solution from an older post about the same issue, but it was too technical for me to follow. Any suggestions?

MacBook has battery charged enough to use but It shuts down and shows charge symbol. Hello, lately my MacBook has this weird behaviour where I know its charged (and shows 40% for example) but once I open it from sleep mode (I can see battery is half charged) after a while it shuts down on its own and when I try to open it it shows the not charged symbol and doesn't start. After I put it on the charger it opens and the battery is half charged, so this is not happening why it wasn't charged. Can you please help?

They are. Service Battery indicates the reading you have for the battery is not to be counted on. Get the battery replaced.
