I was flying 30m high, maybe 60m away, and drone lost connection to controller and disappeared. I waited hoping it would RTH but nothing happened... Tried to find the drone in the last position it was in and couldn't locate it. Anyone have an idea?

I didn't see anything of note on the log. The drone just stops.The recorded flight data is required to be able to tell anything about what heppened to your drone.
Go to DJI Flight Log Viewer | Phantom Help
Follow the instructions there to upload your flight record from your phone or tablet.
That will give you a report of the flight.
Come back and post a link to the report it gives you.
Or .. just post the txt file here.

The battery had plenty left.The voltage only goes down to 3.5V per cell. This wouldn't cause such a dramatic loss of power would it?
Or are you saying that the battery actually fell out of its housing mid-flight?
Unfortunately not from us here at the forum ... the AC itself contains a flight log ending with .DAT, but that log is encrypted for Mavic 2's & can't be read by others than DJI staff.... Would I be able to find out more information now that I have recovered the drone?
I would like to know as much as possible to try and avoid this from happening again
that's a great results so far.found the drone
Not unusual that M2' pilots use a velcro strap for that purpose ...I am beginning to wonder about putting a rubber band around the body and battery of my M2P.
This is scary. Are there means of determining battery health, apart from visually checking for swelling? (OP stated there is no obvious swelling!)
Just in case it might save you some money. For the M2P you can get much of that info out of the charts available from CsvView after CsvView has processed the txt flightlog and CsvView is a free download...................... (subscription)..............
First of all ... batteries will not last forever...Are there means of determining battery health, apart from visually checking for swelling? (OP stated there is no obvious swelling!)
