As always, including enough detail that you paint a reasonably clear picture of your situation in your original question helps. Otherwise, it delays getting you a good answer because people are left to guess what you meant, tried or already knew.

If you are fully winding it and it runs down in 12 hours, it sounds like it definitely needs some attention. Probably a basic routine cleaning service is all that is needed to get it back to normal.
