This is a problem I've fixed with a Q-tip more than once. that contact is finicky and it doesn't take much lint to break it.

Airpods have also just needed rebooting from time to time, in my experience. Not daily, weekly perhaps. Not my favorite thing about them.

I tried cleaning the AirPods and case with a q-tip with rubbing alcohol, several times... and they were new (1 month of use) and visibly clean.

Never heard about being able to reboot the airpods. How do you do that?

There's a button on the case, flip the case open and press it for a long time (ten seconds I think).
