Seems fine now. I don’t fully understand what caused that, but I’m keeping an eye open for clues or quirks.

I dug in my key drawer and sure enough I remembered buying two new cases / fobs. They're a rougher texture and a bit bigger with the loop on the end - harder to drop. They also have a short fabric lanyard which is nice (we put those on). I need to learn the process of programming them on-line with our MVS pal who provides this service.
