When mine (both) had bad solder joints they would usually work immediately after locking the car or after open/close the hatch as if at that time the car raises the gain on the receiving antenna.
I can't remember as It was five years ago but I think if I locked the car with the key blade I could unlock with the fob for a minute or so but if I went to the house and back five minutes later no go. Then I would unlock with the key blade and for a minute again I could lock/unlock with the fob as much as I wanted for the next minute or two.
Symptoms sound familiar? That's why I mentioned. From reading many dozens of threads of keyfob not behaving but sometimes working 5% battery 90% solder joints 5% something else.

Both my keyfobs will work for a day or two then not for a few days up to a week. Then started to work again.
I replaced the main battery and one key fob battery don't make any difference.
I hate to go change the antennae without confirmation though.
