I had this issue as well. At first it was infrequent, but then it started happening more and more often. For a few months I was resetting my AirPods every time I put them on. Then, 3 yellow flashes started to happen, but I still managed to fix them one way or another and kept using them (took the headband off and then put it back on to get them to work again, or left them charging for a bit). I was using them far too much to make a trip to the Apple Store and then wait two weeks for a fix.

Then one day I couldn't get the 3-yellow flash to go away. After a few hours they went completely dead. No lights at all. I considering putting it in the freezer (I had read about the fix online) but they were under warranty so I ended up going to an Apple Store. Had to wait two weeks, but got a fully new pair, except for the ear cushions.

Still, a bit unsettling that this is so common. I guess in another two years mine will die again, no longer under warranty.
