There Is a tooth clearly shorter right before the crank (second image)+ they seem to me to have the "Shark teeth shape".

Should i look for a replacement chainring + new chain?

I didnt mesure the chain stretch yet.

I am not a competitive cyclist, i go out once or twice a month for a ~60km ride as cross-training.

(The bike came with the Shimano chain from marketplace, I dont know of its a crime like white socks on black shoes to use Shimano on SRAM)

    It is still “al dente”.
    Yes, it is time to replace. Read articles about it. Optimally is to cycle 3 chains every 500 km until full wear.

    Oh that SRAM has gnarly teeth, dear.

    Replace the chain and cassette at the same time.
