I had the starter motor replaced at a discount of around 75% after experiencing similar problems with my 2020 Mazda 6. It wasn't a battery problem, since I had replaced the battery just a few weeks earlier. I guess those starters are faulty.

Nedavno sam kupio dvije stvari isto za Mazdu - anlaser za 50€ (kod nas po oglasnicima rabljeni 250€, zamjenski novi 150-200€ ali trgovci na daju garanciju jer su loše kvalitete) i rail za 30€ (kojeg su mi prije narudžbe zamijenili u jednom poznatom Hr servisu i samo komad koji je nabavljen rabljen su mi naplatili 400€). Obje stvari što sam naručio su sad ugrađene u auto, rade bez problema. Naručeno stiglo poštom za 4 dana. Imaš i 14 dana povrat besplatno ako slučajno naručeni komad nije ispravan.
Then I figured that it might actually be compression so switched the starter motor to a much more powerful one to maybe postpone this cars death. It went from cranking at 250 rpm to cranking at 350 rpm\n\nGuess what? This also did absolutely nothing.
This just happened to me as well. I have a 2017 RF with 35,600 on the odometer and, as of today, the starter is pretty much borked.
the starter failed too.
