Mavic Air dropped out of the sky - what would you do?

yes it was my battery that failed - the log at the beginning of the thread tells the tale

While this could be a battery failure, the data look more like the result of a battery that was in auto-discharge resulting in the cells being unbalanced. The initial battery level registered as only 95% and the cell voltages dropped fast under moderate current draw, with cell 1 collapsing as noted earlier by @Meta4. When was this battery charged - i.e. how long before the flight?

The battery sat on the charger all night before flying and then I had it in my pocket for about 2 hrs before flying

In that case it is battery failure. Unfortunately both the aircraft and battery are out of warranty, so the best outcome is probably a discount on a replacement aircraft.
