If the battery is original, it may be time for a new one.

Get a new battery from Lexus. The Panasonic battery used in some '13 GS models had known problem like you describe. I recently bought a new battery from my dealer and it was an Interstate Battery that ran a bit under $200 installed. I think it is warranted for 7 years.

I went to the dealer for another warranty issue and when I picked it up , they also put in a new battery under warranty. I was not having any issues but the tech said the test showed the battery was borderline. Mine is a 2013

Same here with my 2013. Went to Japan for 2 and half weeks and I was dreading it wouldn't start after I got back and reading all the negative stories, but it started like normal.
