You have no profile info on your specific vehicle, except hybrid.
You have no sig line regarding similar info.

You might want to share some info - because that could be very normal. It also could be not normal.
Total crap shoot.
Share background on any new batteries, how long driven daily avg (some people know that matters), cold weather.

We still have our original AGM battery in our 2018 and having no problem at 124,000 miles. What is with these newer 2024s that have such short life expectancy batteries.

With those extra details added in - old original battery, plain & simple.

It's dipped below 12.1 V to cause that alert, and you driving more didn't prevent a fast plummet to below the line.

Now - if you have no remote features either - start or door unlock/lock - then it's actually worse than 12.1 V.

Get a jump pack for the day it finally dies, because it's probably not bad enough yet for warranty replacement.

Now you have 5 Similar threads just below yours to find out more on this very common complaint - or just scan for the 2-4 currently active threads of the forums on pages 1 and 2.

Its not the battery or any significant unintended power draw. Its the broken charging algorithm that always leaves the battery chronically undercharged, causing early death by sulfation.
