Truck locked me out today...for a while

[ihc]

2024 Tremor 5.0 401A.
30K miles.
I typically leave the FOB in the console and use the app or the keypad to unlock.
Today I go for a haircut and lock the doors as normal from the app.
I come back out and the app fails. That happens sometimes but this was different.
There as a red exclamation point where the green check usually is and a message that said "door unlock failed"
I punch in the code on the door. Nothing.
Numbers don't light up or anything.
Tried remote starting and that worked fine.
Waited for while and tried several times before calling a locksmith.
After I hung up with the locksmith I tried the door pad one more time and it worked!
Everything normal after that.

I did go through an automatic car wash about 30 minutes before, but I've done that a couple dozen times before.
I'll post a follow up here if anything comes of this but wanted to post because I didn't find any other incidents like this in my searches.

When or if you have time, stop by an auto parts store for a free battery check.
I know it can be convenient at times but this is a prime example of why one shouldn’t leave the fob inside the vehicle because said fob also holds the physical key.
Glad to hear that you didn’t have to pay the locksmith.
