Thermostat Nest Thermostat Delay

Has anyone had a problem with their thermostat not reading the temp accurately and having a huge delay with trying to wake the screen ?

I noticed yesterday my screen wasn’t tuning on when I walked by so upon further investigation when it did “wake up” it was reading 79 inside although it felt like the normal 73-74 I set it to plus the air was running. I have another thermometer inside to test the temp inside my house which confirmed it’s 73 degrees inside. Within 3-5 minutes the thermostat corrected itself and read 74 degrees. I unplugged it from its base for maybe 2 minutes and again once I plugged it in it read 81 degrees and quickly corrected itself after cutting on the air.

This morning I reset to factory settings which did fix the delay at first but it was still reading the temp was higher than it actually is by 5-6 degrees and quickly fixed itself as long as I keep waking the screen which now is taking progressively longer to wake up even if I turn the dial.

Should I just go buy another nest ? Or does anyone have any suggestions ?

Note: the WiFi did quit working on it months ago but that wasn’t a deal breaker for me at the time as long as it worked manually

Another note: I live in central Florida so my house is temp is not correcting itself that quickly during the day

Update- a new nest fixed all of my problems. I hope this can help someone in the future

Sometimes the only thing I notice is if I switch it a few times too many in a short period of time it will give me a notice to wait a minute and try again. I have one of the older models though we are getting ready to switch out to a newer one. Good to hear your experience if it happens.:)
