After opening the trunk via the button, I manually pushed up the trunk all the way open, then I long pressing the close button until I heard a beep (per the manual). Then pressed the button again.
All is good now.

The same for me. Always after being parked longer or first in the morning.
No need for software update.
Here’s the fix:
Spray WD40 on the gas strut on the right-hand side of the trunk. Coat the thinner metal part of the strut. Then open and close the trunk a few times. This keeps the problem away for me for a good while.

Hi,
Today Tesla Mobile Service came and replaced both the power and the normal strout. He said they are a bit stronger. He also said that there's indeed an update coming, but they've kept a car with the old strouts on purpose so they can check if the update actually works.
Finally, he did a couple of holes in the rubber seals in the trunk lid, because I told him that once it got filled with water and it came out through the hole for the wiring harness.
Coincidentally, it had been working well the last days, probably because of the milder temperatures.
Short story: Even though there's an update, they changed my strouts.
Took 20m.
This is in Norway.

I did try that, and maybe it worked. I can't tell for sure because they just replaced both strouts.
WD-40 is good for cleaning coagulated oil and other grime, but it'll dry out in the long term so you really should clean it off and then lubricate afterwards.
It also says on the can "Not for sale in California". This implies that either there aren't any *real* men in California, or that they're illegally importing their WD-40.

It comes in handy. With my hands full, I can push the close button with my nose. Or just close it from the app when I get in the house.
It seems to not be rolling out. I worry when a release doesn't come out because that means there are problems, and that goes for any software. Sometimes they should just fix a few things at a time and not introduce new problems.
A little update here, my trunk does work after they changed the strouts. I don't think I've received any software update yet.

My experience exactly. Invariably the first actuation in the morning when I unplug and open the trunk for my briefcase. Then no issues the rest of the day
However, comma, once I received 2022.16.x the issue hasn't reoccurred.
