Weird key fob issue

Last night got home and locked my car using the remote as usual.
I Came out of my house to head to work and my car wouldn't recognize comfort access or my remote via lock or unlock. I Used the actual key to unlock drivers door and it unlocked and the alarm beeped, shut off and the mirrors opened.
Put key in dash as a wtf maybe this will help and the car started like normal.
Car starts and the radio is on a channel that's static, I didn't leave it like that, I left it on phone as I was talking on it last time i was in the car.
For kicks I shut the car off and pulled the key out and it locked and unlocked it using the remote, just like normal.
Just got off work after the car sat for 9+ hours and comfort access worked fine and my phone synced like normal.
I replaced the key fob battery a few weeks ago even though it wasn't necessary but I figured I didn't know when it had been replaced last.
Anyone have anything completely random like this?

Exactly what I would expect with a low car battery. (not fob battery)

Never had the issue again. Just that one time. I did discover the car had a Interstate brand battery. Past that it was fine right up until it was totaled 😂
