Technically yes but the maintenance crew is supposed to be notified of battery life, so as long as they're doing their job they should be replacing it long before that happens.
Also I am able to check the battery level myself inside the app. So if I see it getting low (20%) I can just cut a maintenance ticket and they'll come out and do it.
I've never been truly locked out. Maybe if maintenance and the tenant truly drop the ball that could happen. And of course yes it's an extra step you'd never need to spend cycles on with a physical key and lock. But as said, I haven't really gotten to that point in about two years of use.
