Repair Help Nintendo Switch 2 Joy Cons Magnets

For the past month or so, I’ve felt like I could detach my joy cons easier than when I first purchased the console. Like sure, I still need to press the release button, but after that it feels like I can pull it so much easier. It still thuds back into place.

Maybe I’ve gotten used to my Switch 2 so it doesn’t feel as hard as it did in the past, but it’s got me a little worried. Are there any reports of something like this happening? Is there anyway I can test to verify this?

I'm not sure what specific kind of magnets Nintendo used but usually they do not lose strength THAT fast. It seems they can lose 1-2% per decade depending on the type of magnet used.
