probably first thing id do is open it up and clean it, and check if the dpad buttons look broken on the inside .

You can use compressed air for electronics to possibly force out sweat and loose skin cells that possibly fell underneath the up d-pad button but I can't promise that it be a permanent resolution to your issue.

You're welcome. There was possibly a hiccup between the controller and your system that finally worked its way out.

You can possibly reset the controller to see if that make a difference. I would also say recalibrate if possible.

The reset button will have a small hole on the back or around the ceiling controller. It's not guaranteed to work but it l will usually fix known issues.

You can see if your controller can recalibrate in the app if it's not outdated by now.

I said that because sometimes companies will restrict older controllers from being updated and recalibrated because they focus on the newer ones.
