System off to save battery

[PreservedSwine]

I just received this message on my screen. 2023 pro standard range. Coincidentally, the startup chimes were coming out of a tiny speaker, and not through the audio system as usual.
I’ve never seen it before. I stopped at a client’s house, was there about 10 minutes, and when I went to leave and started the truck I was presented with that greeting.

I’m not sure what it means. I suspect it’s the low-voltage battery, but I’m not sure. Is action needed?
I haven’t seen this message in the 16,500 mile lifetime of the truck.
Two recent updates, 6.5, and 6.8 have been installed. The truck was charging during both of the updates, and charges to 80% every night.

Hmm, after I recently got the 6.14 update on my 22 XLT, and the day after I left the OBD2 reader installed overnight, FordPass said the "Vehicle in Battery Saver Mode (Please drive your vehicle to refresh status and remote features)". Not sure if related to the OBD2 reader or a recent update.

That's odd for it it occur with such a short stop. I've only had it occur when the truck has been parked for several days. It makes sense for the chimes to come from the backup speaker, it needed to play the chime before the audio system was engaged. I would blame cosmic rays or some other BS and assume this is a one-off issue. If it occurs regularly have in for service.

Double-check the 10mm 12V battery terminal connections for a loose connection. This has happened before.
