Your AirPods Pro 3 case stopping at 97% or 98% is usually a software and battery calibration issue rather than a broken hardware part.
Try this
Recalibrate the Battery: Drain your AirPods Pro 3 case completely until it reaches 0% and shuts off. Then, plug it in and charge it uninterrupted to 100%. This helps the internal software learn the true minimum and maximum capacity.
