RIng Gen 2 Motion Sensors stuck active

In my garage, I have 3 Ring Gen2 Motion Sensors. One of them seems to be stuck, showing Active since at least 5:00 a.m (currently 1240 CDT) . I looked and found a few old threads that talked about it, but no real answers, and I didn't want to raise them from the dead. Has anyone had this? How can I fix it or Is there any work around or custome driver or something for it?

Probably a few ways to do it, but I wrote a small app a few years back to unstick sensors:

What is the battery status of the sensor. Check and make sure the batteries are not low or dead.

Currently showing 64% if you can believe it.

I would try swapping the batteries. I will say those sensors seem to be really good at showing a fairly close vakue to really what is left, but i have so had one die that high as well.
