HP Victus shutsdown unexpectedly and drains battery full charge capacity

[ZahOne]

Hi, i bought HP victus i5-12th gen with rtx3050 70Wh about 6 months ago. The first 3 months of normal usage and gaming my battery was fine and the full charge battery capacity was showing "acceptable" stage of aging from the designed capacity. The Whr only dropped a little. But after 4 months, i played batman game on battery mode (without AC plugged in) and it suddenly shutsdown without any warning. But the temperature before it shutsdown was fine tho, and after that i'm unable to turn on my laptop unless i plugged the AC in. After my laptop turned on it's suddenly dropped to 0%, but after 10-20 minutes it's back to 100%. It's strange because i played a couple of games before on battery mode and it worked just fine, now after that issue even when my laptop is idle sometimes it shutsdown itself. The first time i faced the issue, i quickly check the battery status and the full charge capacity dropped MASSIVELY. And between the "unexpected shutdown" which is happened to me about 8 times, the full charge capacity dropped massively each time after "unexpected shutdown". And now after just 6 months in, my battery health is "weak" and currently is on 49% or 34Whr from the designed capacity (70Whr). Do i have to calibrate the battery or my issue is not related to battery calibration at all?
