It will never happen with SRAM AXS because I pay attention to my battery charge level. If you make a shift before the start of a ride and get a green light, you're good for 100 miles or more. I carry a spare battery for shifters and derailleurs, so it might take a minute to change, then continue riding. Only a dummy gets stranded.
It's like breaking a shift cable, but I'm back in business a lot quicker.
