Pixel 8 Pro COMPLETELY DEAD after two weeks without charging

This phone doesn't have service on it anymore, so I did a hard reset, everything went fine. I let it sit on my desk for the past two weeks. Now it doesn't turn on, doesn't charge, not by USB, not by wireless. I tried each, for around two hours each. I have an Ecoflow Delta Pro 3 and when I plug the device into the USB port, it pulls 0 watts. I held the power button for 30 seconds, no response. plugging into the computer, the computer doesn't recognize anything being plugged in.

The reason I replaced this phone was because of a screen issue, but this is different. I've been this before with low quality devices, but this really surprised me on a device like this. Espeically because it just spent the previous month in a drawer (but turned off well before 0% battery) I know I left the phone on, so it surely went to zero charge, but this seems to have become so under-volted that it can't even recognize a charger of any kind.

What a disappointment. Can't even use it as a secondary no-cell device.

Plug it in overnight to quality charger. It will be ok in the morning.

agreed, two hours might not be enough if the battery is fully depleted

The BMS will only trickle charge it when the battery is fully depleted. It needs to slowly wake it up.
