I’d noticed mine wasn’t working of late, also a manual car and put it down to the colder weather and the battery not holding sufficient charge.
I did have a glance around whilst sat at a very long traffic light change to see what might be causing it. I put it down to the heater being on because of the cooler external temperatures and also noticed that I’d left my wing mirrors on heated mode as we’d been having a lot of fog down this way of late. Both were probably enough drain on the battery for it not to engage stop/start.
Check your wing mirror control position!
