Default Key Fob Unlock Function Doesn't Work but Lock Function Works Fine?

Hi, I hope you are doing great!

I was wondering if anybody had a problem with their key fob not unlocking the car however, locking the car works perfectly fine. Some background, the car is in SoCal, 2007 IS350 with 210k+ miles, and the problem has been building up for almost a half year. Back then it used to take a couple of clicks of the unlock button before the car actually unlocked. Then it started getting worse, for example, last week I would have to click on the unlock button 20 times before it actually unlocked. Today, it seems like the unlock function completely failed to work. The unlock/lock function works on the handles and the inside unlock/lock functions work inside. If anybody has experience or solution to this problem, feel free to post!

Thank you so much for your time!

You check the battery in the fob?
