Front tubeless tyre went a little soft after a few weeks not being ridden but still rideable.
Put some air in it and it's gone nearly all the way down twice...it hasn't got punctured in that time so can only assume valve is dodgy. Dunk wheel in water to see where the air is coming from?

Have you dunked it water to see where the air is coming from?

Leaky sidewalls, leaky bead, leaky valve, could be leaks anywhere. If it's going completely flat pretty quickly you shouldn't have too much trouble finding the hole.

I'm assuming you have sealant inside an have given it a good shake.

It could be that the tape has moved/crinkled and is allowing air under the tape an out through the spokes. A water dunk is required.
