5. Pull the battery out

And check for dirt or corrosion on the little metal bits on the bottom of the battery. It can be cleaned off easily.

Another reason is the damned little USB C plug that you plug the charging cable into. The aluminium surround of the port gets bent and loose and the plug doesn't connect properly. Maybe try your cable with a bit of silver foil around it.

The batteries are expensive, and I've had both these problems on underwater cameras.
