Deep Sleep stopped working

Hi All
I had this code working perfectly yesterday on a ESP32 dev board and battery out in the yard. For what ever reason it disconnected, possibly a flat battery. Now it can get the unit into deep sleep mode.

I haven't changed anything hardware or software wise.

I have charged the battery and the readings are there but it won't sleep now. I have reloaded the code and tried the second code which puts it into deep sleep.

Any ideas?
Cheers

Have you tried a much simpler bit of code, without the WiFi and sensor stuff ?

Does the ESP32 go into deep sleep then ?

yes as per the second bit of code. And yes it works. But the bigger code was working fine up until yesterday...
