My friend and I have several Ledger Nano X devices, some of which were purchased recently. After the latest updates, the battery completely discharges within a month, even if the wallet is not used.
Similar posts can be found on Reddit, where a user reports that his new Ledger Nano X discharges by about 3% per day: https://www.reddit.com/r/ledgerwallet/comments/1lta9wq/ledger_nano_x_draining_battery/
It seems that Ledger is doing this on purpose to get users to switch to their new wallets with E-INK displays.
Has anyone encountered this problem with the nano X model?

Welcome to ledger hell  Tongue
I already wrote many times about ledger nano X as one of the worst ledger devices, and all that because of low quality batteries.
You can find more information about that in this topic:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5358741.0

All lithium batteries needs to be charged periodically, and no full emptied, but you can try to reset device.
I would suggest to stop using ledger or any other closed source hardware wallets, there are much better open source alternatives.

Thank you for creating a thread about battery problems in nano X models.
You describe cases where the battery in the wallet does not charge due to over-discharge or poor contact.
I am describing a slightly different reason, where fully functional wallets, which previously held a charge for six months after a full charge, begin to completely discharge within a month due to an update to new firmware. It seems that the wallets do not turn off, but go into sleep mode with minimal power consumption, and Ledger does this deliberately, in my opinion, to force users to switch to new models.
In all the wallets I checked, the battery charges normally in about 2 hours to 99%. So the problem is clearly not with the battery.

If the latest firmware update is affecting all of the Nano X devices that you and your friend have, it has to be deliberate [unfortunately, you can't downgrade the firmware on your devices].
- FWIW, reputable phone brands (e.g., Samsung and Apple) occasionally do such things, so I wouldn't be surprised if a HW brand with a bad reputation does it as well (Ledger no longer surprises me)!
