testing the gas bottle?

the gas bottle seems empty, but pretty abrupt... normally, the flame will be smaller for a while etc... nothing like that, this time... just stopped...

im wondering, if the bottle is still full and something else is wrong..

normally, there is a button to exhaust air on the connector, but with this bottle i cant find any. its a red connector looks very new, but nothing to adjust there...

anyone has an idea
- what could be wrong (if not empty)
- how to test whether its full or not...

tia !

There is a way of testing these small refillable gas canisters.

And when you come out of hospital, you will know the gas canister is now empty.

Close the valve, remive the regulator, gently crack the valve. If it hisses you have gas. Start putting pieces back on one at a time and testing again... when it doesn't hiss you've found the problem piece.
