Default 2014 Mazda 6 Key fob issues

I have a 2014 Mazda 6, and the key fobs are both acting bonkers. They won't interact with the car at random for the past week, and the physical keys inside of the fobs do not unlock the door manually. I'm wondering if it's something that needs to be reset. The car did have limited interaction for a few months, as I was only going to doctor's visits during quarantine. The battery died once, and since then I've had off an on issues with the fobs. The car will crank straight up, the battery performs fine once I can get in the vehicle. Does anyone have any suggestions, or is this just something I should take straight to the dealer? I'm starting work back and need it to be reliable.

WELCOME TO THE FORUM

First things are first having anything to do with BATTERIES.....

Your battery died, so regardless of age or miles fully charge the battery and get it properly load tested.
Speaking of FOBs and batteries, it seems to be a regular posting on this forum and another in the last couple weeks. First CHANGE the batteries in both FOBs .

To understand what a Proper Battery Load Test is use the search feature and you will find a few threads talking about it with pictures in the last week!
Good Luck with your resolve!
