Is my Pro on it's last leg?

Something weird happened today. I swiped the screen to the left to access an app and the screen went black. As in the phone turned off. I knew for a fact the battery still had 50% charge. Holding the power button did not turn the phone on. I thought it fried on me. I held the power button for about 1 minute and suddenly it turned on. It booted fine and still showed 51% charge. Has this ever happened to anyone?
 
I'm on B12 and my carrier is Metro.

I backed up my contacts and it's been running fine today. Hopefully it was a glitch. One thing I forgot to mention is that about 2 weeks ago I had a severe battery drain in a very short period of time. I'm talking about the charge dropping from 45% to below 10 in a matter of an hour with the phone idling. I got the low battery chime and thought it was strange. Thought maybe an app got stuck and drained it, so I didn't think much of it. We'll see.
