Pressure issue? No pressure on startup until grouphead + steam purged together

Hi y'all,

Trying to figure out the issue with my ~1.5y/o Profitec Go.

It recently stopped building any pressure on startup – the pressure gauge sits at 0. After trying lots of things, as well as thinking I was crazy and maybe it always did this, I've gotten it to build pressure after about a 10s purge pushing the brew button + opening the steam wand at the same time. It builds to 9bar, I pull a shot, it works great.

After the first shot, if I purge the group head or steam wand, pressure dies to 0 again, and I then have to purge again the exact same way (brew button + steam fully open 10s) for pressure to build for the second shot.

Anyone experience this? Super frustrating.
