Unless there was a reason for that deep discharge (something stayed on while the engine was off), or your battery connectors are dirty-corroded, start shopping for a new battery.

Once they start doing things like this for no reason, they become unpredictable and worsen after each episode.
Each deep discharge twists the internal plates even more.
