I have never had this before, but I found this on the internet to reset the remote, maybe this helps (https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203777): If your remote does not work as expected, try restarting the remote: Press and hold the TV/Control Centre button and the Volume Down button at the same time. Hold the buttons down for about 5 seconds until the Apple TV status indicator goes out and then lights up again. Release the buttons.
