I have been flying a Mavic 2 Zoom with a DJI smart controller for over a year without any problems, but today I started experiencing an odd and concerning issue. While I was flying forward, every ~20 seconds the controller started beeping and a message appeared that said something like "release control stick to vertical position, then continue to fly". While it is beeping, the drone stops in mid-air. I release the stick, then I move it forward again and the drone flies normally for some 20 seconds, and then the whole thing happens again. Puzzled and concerned by this erratic behavior, I pressed RTH. The drone was maybe 800 ft away from me. It began its return to home, but while flying it would stop every ~20 seconds in mid air, the remote would beep, and then the drone would restart flying toward home, but stop again after ~20 seconds, and so on. Does anybody know what could be causing this behavior and what to do to fix it? Weather conditions were perfect, 75 F, hardly any wind (5 mph at ground level and drone was only 100 ft AGL), perfect visibility, sunny. I flew again after changing battery and rebooting the controller, and the same behavior occurred again. I'd appreciate it if anyone could help me understand what might be going on.
