Not enough information to know for sure.

It is possible the battery was subpar to begin with. My 2020 Fusion went through 3 batteries in the first year, all Ford/Motorcraft warranty replacements.

It seems to be relatively common that Ford batteries can be problematic.

Did your truck go into deep sleep mode? Not much info to base on. A weak battery will cause all kinds of issues.

My auto start/stop decided to work after ending a 400 mile trip back home from Cape Cod. It hasn’t worked in 3 years. Sat for a day in my garage and stopped working again, so battery is getting replaced before winter.

I replaced mine with a h7. H6 is too small for these trucks. Haven’t had an issue sense.

2023 Truck, picked up from Granger in Feb of 2023.

I’ve never seen the app post that, I assume it’s part of one of the recent updates. It was sitting at an airport parking lot for only two nights. It’s sat longer and never had the change with the app. There’s no other signs of a weak battery.

I'd address the issue during your next service, before your warranty expired.
I had to replace a battery on my 2021 RCSB couple month before expiration, when noticed that the truck won't update for several cycles "due to insufficient state of charge". My dealer checked SOC of the battery and confirmed the one is for replacement under warranty.
