It’s just letting you know that if you want to start driving push the button to start the engine. Normal operation

My 2020 is doing the same thing! I have to jump it off to get it to start. What did they say was wrong with yours

Somewhat similar problem last night. 2020 CR-V EX with 170 total miles. Parked and shut down normally for 4 hours. On my return, POWER button glowed solid red (not blinking), and car totally dead. Intermittent very brief flashing of some dashboard icons and same with tail-lights. Attempted to turn on headlights -- would not turn on. AAA arrived and diagnostics began under the hood. Somehow, he got the car to boot up and start again. Printout report notes: "Your battery is too discharged for accurate analysis". A test of the charging system reported "no problem". I have no idea what happened here.

Same happened with my 2018 Honda Accord touring 2.0. First a host of different error messages like the photo below. Then the white flashing start button. Used jumper cables and jump started it with another car. I’ll post what the dealer says.
