Won't Start after remote start / failure to push brake

2017 Maxima - So this is a pretty weird one. It's -20C out (not sure if that matters). I started the car with remote start. Got in and forgot to push the brake when I pushed the start button before putting it into drive. The car shut off, as it has done before when I've done this. I waited a couple of seconds, pushed the brake and pushed the start button. Then I got a clicking noise, lights flashing on the dash and no start.
I tried multiple times, no luck. I disconnected the battery and tried again, but nothing.
Any thoughts? I'll be calling the dealer today, but thought I'd reach out to this group.

Try new battery... at -20C looks like your battery was weak, and was depleted by the first start of anything it had. Now it's dead.

Test if you can: Voltage across the terminals should be about 12.7V. if a lot less, then yep - Dead Battery.

Check battery. Sounds textbook.
