Trying to keep the question as spoiler-free as possible, thus the generic wording.
So, in The Long Night, at the end, we see Melisandre
walk out of Winterfell into the snow-covered landscape and commit suicide. She removes the collar imbued with the magic of the Lord of Light that kept her young, thus the years catch up to her and she quickly falls down on the snow, reduced to an incomplete skeleton it would seem.
It makes little sense to me that she would do that after managing to survive through the whole battle. She did told Seaworth that she was going to die, when she arrived at Winterfell, did she mean it that way? Was this planned all along despite their low probability of survival?

It seemed to me as in her case of, and I mean old, age had finally caught up with her. She was just so old that she died when taking her necklace off. Remember that earlier on in the series we’ve seen her take the necklace off and be fine so it makes sense there’s something more at play here.
The other theory I can think of is that she’d served her purpose, just as Beric had done previously, and so had no need to carry on.
