Default Camry dies at random?

Ok so yesterday I was stupid and left the car on ACC and left to go to lunch. Of course I came back and had to get a jump start. I drove around the block 3 times and stopped and revved up the car to 2000 rpm to let it charge a second. Then out of the blue everything cuts off and it dies and when I try to start it it has dim lights and won’t turn over. I got another jump start and did the same thing except when I stopped I just let it idle 2 minutes go by and the same thing happens. Any ideas as to why? Btw I have a 2.2L and I checked the battery with a multi meter and it appears to have charged and I checked it again when it was running and the battery was getting 13.92 volts

Any warning lights in the instrument cluster?

All fuses good?
You might actually want to disconnect the battery and reset things.
It also wouldn't hurt to get the battery tested at your local auto parts store.
Jumping a car can cause some issues sometimes.

well you see is that’s the weird thing. The battery is charging but it’s not fully charged because it doesn’t get enough time too. Also I checked the fuses they are all fine and there’s no battery light when it’s running or nothing. But I noticed that whenever I put the in reverse the radio shuts off. Also if I hit the brakes the lights in the car dim then slowly return to normal? I don’t have a battery on hand so I can’t charge the battery at all

I'd start with getting that battery tested and let them charge it for you.
It's at least a good place to start and rule out.

Do you know how old the battery is?
