Insignia Key Battery Low Warning

My 2018 Vauxhall Insignia (gasoline engine) with 86760 km is showing a 'key battery low' warning. Keyless access no longer works, and there's an error stored. Unlocking and locking aren't working properly. I suspect the key fob battery, has anyone experienced similar?

Oh my goodness, that sounds awfully familiar! I had something very much like that happen with my Insignia. Were you able to use the spare key, or did it act the same?

Spare key exhibits the same symptoms. Any specific recommendations for battery replacement, or further diagnostics?

Because nothing changed with the spare key, I'm thinking you might be on the right track with the battery. I had a go at replacing it myself, but without success. Eventually I had the dealer take a look. I'd really recommend heading to a workshop, just to be sure.

Confirmed, replacing the battery in both key fobs resolved the issue. Total cost: 37€. Thanks for the advice.
