Has anyone had issues with the PS4's internal Bluetooth controller?

Hey everyone. Over the past few weeks, my controllers have been acting flakey. They will work fine for an hour or two, and then it is like there is a bunch of phantom input. Usually I can fix it by switching to a different controller.

This evening, I was playing Battlefield 1 and suddenly the controller went completely unresponsive. Obviously I died. However, the controller refused to reconnect. When hitting the PS button, the LED on the controller just flashed white, off and on.

I tried a different controller - same thing. I tried hard-wiring the controllers - same thing. They wouldn't connect, they just flashed off and on. I put the PS4 into rest mode, and the controllers wouldn't rouse it.

I had to do a hard shutdown of the PS4, and start it back up to get them to connect.

The thing is that flakiness has happened before prior power cycles.

Is it possible for the Bluetooth controller chip to die on a PS4? Has anyone experienced that before?

I AM using a PS gold headset+dongle, so I don't know if that can cause a problem.
