Fenix 6 sapphire Bluetooth headphone connections issues

I’ve had the Fenix 6 Sapphire for about 3 years with no real issues. About 2-3 weeks ago the watch stopped connecting to my headphones when starting music. I have to turn the watch on/off to get them to connect. Yes, I’ve tried different headphones and the same thing happens.  Once they are connected they work pretty well except for the music stopping every now and then, which is also new!! Was there a recent update that could be causing this issue?
