Skoda Octavia Rear Window Heating Problem
Summary of the thread
A 2015 Skoda Octavia had a rear window heating issue, with an error stored, and the windshield heating was also weak. The problem was identified as a very discharged battery, which can cause modern cars to prioritize essential functions and affect heating systems. Replacing the battery resolved the issue, restoring the rear window heating functionality.

Yes, the windshield heating is not working well. Fuses are okay. It's strange that it happened suddenly. How did you fix yours? Was it a defroster repair, or something else?

My problem was a very discharged battery. Modern cars focus on essential functions when the battery is low. Get the battery checked before doing more expensive repairs. Go to a workshop.

Thanks for the insight. It was the battery, really discharged. Replaced it, and the rear window heating is working again. Cost 290€, but at least it's fixed for winter.

I had a similar heating problem with my Octavia, though I don't remember the exact error. Is the windshield heating also weaker? My rear window and demister were dead. Did you check the fuses first? Any other electrical issues?
