Issue: My instantpot lid is stuck and unable to open it.

What happened before the issue: The lid was showing resistance to lock. The lid was half closing and the “lid” was showing in display. I tried closing multiple times it didn’t close and felt something was stopping it from closing. Then, I put a little more force to close it and now it wont open. The locking pin mechanism seems the thing stopping it from opening.

Pressure level: The float valve is down and there is no pressure inside the pot

Locking pin position: Is flush inside the lid

Pot condition: There is food and liquid inside pot (Rice and water)

What should I do to open?
