Forerunner 645 only syncing when plugged in

My watch recently stopped syncing with the connect app. Only when I plug the watch in will it sync the previous 24 hours info. I have restarted, deleted, forgotten, reinstalled and logged in and out of everything I can think of.
The ‘sync’ loop will go about 1/4 around, then just complete the loop.

Any help or solutions would be appreciated.

I figured it out. I really appreciate the quick responses.
I got the current activities off my watch and into the app. Then I deleted all the activities on the watch. Then I factory reset the watch. Then I removed the watch from the app and deleted it. Then started over fresh and, viola. The watch is syncing like it should.
I had never considered deleting activities from the watch after syncing. I’m not sure if it was clogged up with information but I think I’ll try removing the activities from the watch monthly and try to prevent this from happening again.

Any thoughts on that as a plan are welcome.

Thank you again.
