    The issue is resolved. I just realized that the original charger was still in the packaging box😂, switching back to it fixed the problem.

Ipnonauta  thanks for getting back to me. It looks like there are multiple firmware issues regarding charging and other updates turning headsets into paperweights. There are many temporary solutions like charging the headset while it's in standby mode. Charging from a PC in USB update mode and throwing chicken bones at the headset has also been mentioned. hopefully they come out with a robust firmware that gives regular and reliable charging so that we don't have to go out and buy the latest meta smart glasses. 🙄

I'll definitely try the chicken bones metod at this point ahah. If the software is similar i have doubts that i'll be tempted to try the smart glasses.
