What are the battery's state of charge levels (% SoC) when start-stop becomes unavailable and then working again, in Car Scanner Elm Obd2 app?
Normally SoC is 82-85% and drops cca 1% each day car is parked. It takes sometimes a long trip to charge it back to 85%.
You will also notice much higher charging current - Battery Current or Battery Charge (A) - whilst driving and battery is under 60-70% SoC.

Very strange. Yesterday afternoon the EML came back on and immediately the start stop began working again.

Stop start will not happen if your battery is low.
I also had low battery voltage messages within 30 secs of stopping the car if for instance I was in the middle of a phone call.
New battery sorted the issue.
Volvo dealers are probably the cheapest for a new battery as previously stated believe it or not.
As I recall a healthy battery should rest at around 12.8v.

i've always used 12.3V as a good guide, less than this and it needs charging
less than 12V is not a good sign YMMV
