'20 Start/Stop Functionality
I recently noticed that my ECO start/stop functionality has stopped working. The light is still it green, so I know it is on, but the engine has not shutoff at any point when I come to a stop now in several weeks. Has anyone else noticed this and if so, what was the resolution? I thought I would check here before contacting my tech rep at MB.

Stop / Start will get worse and a warning will start to appear on mini front screen.
Aux Battery is NOT a battery - it is a voltage regulator with a capacitor. They seem to fail around 6 year mark.
Highly recommend using an overnight trickle charger to recharge car main battery. You might find the stop / start will work again. Main battery might be failing too.
Stop/start module is under front passenger floor carpet. MB price around $300 for small black box, that is simple plug and play, EBay will have a Bosch one around $100 I think.

Frequent engine stop/start must have impact on all components in a long run.
This is just my personal opinion.

I was thinking about it but I thought any aftermarket modification will void MB warranty. Won't it?

Also, if problem with brake cylinder they need to prove your mods could cause this.
