Solar not charging multiple cameras

I'm almost convinced that Arlo somehow disabled charging on my cameras. I have 3 cameras on solar and 2 on AC power. The two AC cameras are working fine but all of a sudden this weekend all three of the solar cameras will not charge with the solar panels. I can see one but all of them!? And it's been bright and sunny the entire time.

My solar panels are working fine - there's been no change in how you charge the batteries.

How do you know the panels aren't charging? WHat have you tried and what do you see? In daylight, is there a lightning bolt through the battery icon? Have you reseated the connectors after wiping the contacts on both ends?

Panels are fine. I took one of my cameras on AC power and it was charging. I am going to manually charge the 3 cameras and plug them back in and see what happens. So odd that all 3 of my solar cameras stopped charging with the panels.
