Does ir do that if you take it out of the case?
Could be the reset button getting partially pressed. Had similar issues with some of my 3D printed cases when I was still tuning the print settings.
Thinking maybe that is it. So I removed the buttons (its a 3d printed case with the two buttons connected together. Still see the issue.
So then I tried plugging in the battery while the board was out of the case. Booted just fine. While staying plugged in and with the buttons removed I pushed the board back into the case and all good...until I hit the reset button and now it is back in a power cycle loop. This is so weird.
Not sure what case design you're using, but what worked for me was taking a knife and enlarging the button holes slightly (that was easier than sanding down the buttons).
On later prints, I had success scaling the case to 101% and scaling the buttons down to 98% in my slicer.
I removed the buttons completely and was still having issues so it isn't the reset button being pressed that is the problem.
I think it might be that the case is carbon fiber infused which can be conductive and maybe its actually grounding something.
