You can try to dig in the forum, it was a while ago the last time that came up...

I think I remember that one,
The solution was: "Re-charge the battery".
In an earlier case, the person's Amazon Wall Charger had failed.
They **thought** that they where re-charging the battery.
In another earlier case, the person was trying to re-charge from a computer's USB port, but did not realize their computer was turning off external USB power when it went to sleep.
Here is another possible solution to eliminate the possibility of either of the above:
If the user has an externally powered USB hub (the sort with its own power supply - usually a "wall wart") - - -
Try re-charging from that.
It will be the "slow" re-charge curve, so 24 hours or more may be required.
One of the hints above was:
"Reading a book for a long time and the machine became sluggish."
The SoC sensed the low battery condition and scaled back the clock speed (way back, to about 1/10 the normal speed).
