Same problem with mine, this looks to be a defective batch. Could also be triggered if the camera stays off without power for a long time.

From the dozens cameras I’ve owned, none had the internal battery failing, some have been in a drawer for ages without issues turning them back on.

Too bad it happened after the warranty expired.

If we poll the serial numbers a pattern could emerge here.

IMO, the best workaround is to rarely remove the battery and when done, set the clock with the mobile app, is fast and accurate.
