I am not an expert on the system's details but a 'smarter' system would see that its level is low (maybe no instantly but tracked over a period) and would (saying) couple the engine more to charge battery

It will adjust as the battery SoC changes, there are 'stages' to the intelligent alternator control. But you still need miles/time/revs to get maximum possible charge to the battery. If your regular driving profile doesn't fulfil the requirements, it simply can't charge enough to get back to a SoC where the Stop-Start is triggered.

To me it makes sense to cut out Stop-Start as a measure to retain battery SoC, when there is limited opportunity to add charge.

I changed my driving mode to economy for my last trips of 150 km each. I do see that the battery is charging when I release the gas pedal, but so far, no luck. I also tried to switch off climate control foe a faster battery charge. Nothing changed so far.

Try to stick the outsource power to it's terminal and let it charge for some times to increase battery level.

I also do have this issue but it's on 5 years old battery.

Have you been able to fix this issue? I think i'm the same boat. A month or so after delivery Auto Start/Stop worked probably just a few times. Mostly driving in Comfort mode.

As above stop/Start is one of the things that closes down in my 330i when the battery charge is low - which it is a lot of the time at the moment. Comfort access also,stops in as much as it will only work when I touch the door handle and will not lock the car when walking away -'somewhat disconcerting!

I agree that it needs to be charged to initiate stop/start etc. I only get it to work once I’ve charged the battery and then given the little (short journey) driving I do because of restrictions it doesn’t work for long.

It does appear to be more sensitive to SOC on this car than in my previous F10 where I never experienced the Stop/Start not functioning in the 6 years I had the car.

I will mention to dealer (when next in for service) but looks like a general feature with this car.
