Why did my 512gb SD card stop working?

It's a SanDisk Ultra U3 SD card and has only been used in a Sony AX43A 4K camcorder. When I put the card back in the camcorder today after copying everything new to PC, the camera is telling me zero minutes are available. Yet the card is little more than half full!

There are about 12 old folders on the card, each named after the dates of the footage. At most there would be an average 30 files in each folder, about 360 files in total. The file format is EX-FAT so there's room for almost infinite files and folders.

The one thing I do that's unusual is to keep filling the same camera card until it's full up, instead of reformatting between uploads. I've done this on cards up to 256gb without problems, then have kept the full card as a kind of backup rather than re-using it. Maybe this seems unusual but I've never had problems before.

Can anyone please tell me what's going on? Many thanks!

Could Jackson Pollock have done his famous drip paintings in oil (instead of house paint)?

Somebody once told me that any oils can do anything acrylics can do and more. If this is true then why did he resort to house paints for the fluid drip effects? The dripping effect could easily be achieved with acrylics — except that acrylic paint wasn't on the market when Pollock did his most famous pieces in the 1940s. Could water miscible oil be made runny enough, or is there some other trick for making oil paint runny enough to do a 21st century drip painting?
