So last Monday, my right airpod suddenly stopped working. On the battery widget on my phone and iPad, I could only see the battery levels for the charging case and left airpod only. I then tried everything I could find online but no luck. I noticed I couldn't factory reset my airpods though, the charging case did turn on the white light when I pressed on the back for 15 seconds or more but it never turned amber; it just kept on glowing white. I stopped trying to fix it for about a week or so, keeping the faulty airpod outside of the charging case. Then last night, I decided to give it a try again because I really wanted to use it and THE RIGHT AIRPOD MIRACULOUSLY CONNECTED!! for about 15 minutes until I charged it to full and it stopped working again. In the screenshots, you can see both airpods showing when I forget device and re-pair it with my phone but in the Menu bar in Settings, it doesn't show up at all. Is my only option to get a replacement pod at this point? :")

I went on Reddit and saw a lot of people with pretty much the same issues, with some saying that it magically got fixed overnight but so far no luck for me...I'm wondering if it's such a common problem, why hasn't Apple support mentioned anything?
