I got in the car and started as usual and it starts up strong and normal.
I drive back home, let it run for 15 min or so and shut it off. App remote starting works again. Starts up strong and normal. I bet if I tried the FOB it would now start but shut off again. This is definitely on the list to have the dealer look at. Bizarre behavior.

Reads like the battery is low on charge. Starting the engine but not letting the engine run enough time to top up the battery will just make matters worse. At least 30 minutes of driving is needed but given the battery had apparently gotten pretty weak maybe an hour is needed.
Or arrange to have a good battery charger connected and recharge the battery.
