Low battery warning while exercising - despite having "24d" left

I did a longer walk (1.5 hours) recording the path and I got a low battery warning after one hour. Nothing else happened.

After finishing the walk and saving it the battery is still at "24 days".

GPS enabled, no multi frequency.

Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar here.

Is this a software bug or could the battery be faulty?

Assuming that your configuration and settings are correct, I suggest to test it again in another walk to see if the issue happens again.

When you see "battery in days" on the watch it's based on what you are currently doing - typically just running the watch face. But if you are using an activity with GPS, it will be significantly lower. To me, battery % is more useful, as that number doesn't change just based on watch face, activity, gps on or off, etc.
