Got the same notification on the car, I don't think I took a picture of it though. The single red battery icon would persist on the driver's display.
with my 12v troubles I only received a yellow notification - still they replaced my 12v and when I had it again, my DC/DC converter. What I would really like is access to voltage log of the 12v - anytime I tried to “sneak up” on it the DC/DC was already on so showing 13+ V at the battery terminal. I would rather not install an aftermarket 12v Bluetooth monitor.

I have AAA and an ice truck at home. I'm too old for anything more intensive than getting a tow.

I have been thinking about this more lately. With spring just around the corner the trailer will be getting hitched up again soon.

The RIDE menu allows for monitoring the voltage of the 12v battery. You need a quality jump pack that does what Rivian requires and is able to maintain the constant voltage (13-16v) @30 amps...many of them sadly will only do this for a very short time and then they turn off.

The procedure was already posted here and like was said Rivian now keeps tabs on it and will alert you in the mobile app if the 12v is weak.
