Normally I would respond to the already posted top reply with this same message, but this is a topic which deserves multiple replies with the same answer to reinforce the idea that it is correct...

Remove any diseased or damaged strawberries from the container.

Soak the rest in a vinegar solution for a few minutes.

Rinse with fresh water.

Allow to completely dry.

Keep refrigerated.

Those are the steps. Works with lots of produce, but seems to be especially good for things like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries.

But also, at least in the USA, shit's going down with our produce right now and it seems like the shelf life of almost everything as of late is super limited. Not sure if it's due to the tariffs or what.

Probably the FDA being gutted.
