Apple Watch shuts down after workout

I have an Apple Watch (Series 6; WatchOS 11.3.1). For the past several weeks, after I complete an outdoor run via the native Workout app, the watch shuts down and goes into reserve battery mode. If I put it on the charger, it reboots and indicates a battery around 60-70% immediately.

Hi @Ingo2711, thank you for your prompt reply.


The battery has never been replaced and its maximum capacity is 81%. So I suppose I’m near that threshold, but it still seems odd that it survives the workout — and ending the workout and tapping done — then powers off to reserve mode. It also failed to record a GPS map of my last run, though splits/elevation/cadence/etc. are all there.
