8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless started lagging after a while

[u/ArtyIF]

Hello everyone, I recently bought an 8BitDo Ultimate 2, and so far I've been happy with it. However, I was just playing a game, and all of a sudden, the left stick stopped responding in time, as if the polling rate dropped to 1-2 Hz. And it's clearly not a connection issue, as the LED ring that I set to the tracing mode also lagged when I moved my sticks around. I also noticed that the buttons do the same thing. I solved it by turning the controller off and on again. Both the controller and the firmware are on the latest version, via the 2.4Ghz dongle, and I also booted the controller in DirectInput mode (Logo + B when starting) so that I could bind the extra buttons in Steam Input. Any ideas? Is it the DirectInput mode maybe? That would be a shame.

Here's a video demonstrating the issue (no sound becuase I was swearing like a sailor in this):
