MacBook Pro M1 Pro wouldn't turn on for an entire day, then suddenly booted after charging overnight

I have a 14-inch MacBook Pro (M1 Pro). Yesterday it suddenly wouldn't turn on. The last time I used it, it was working perfectly. I simply closed the lid to put it to sleep, and when I tried using it later, it was completely unresponsive.

Here's what happened:

  • Pressing the power button did nothing.
  • The trackpad had no haptic click at all.
  • I tried different USB-C chargers and cables, but it still wouldn't turn on.
  • I couldn't get any response using the usual power button methods.

After leaving it connected to the charger overnight, I woke up this morning and found that it had powered on by itself.

Battery Health currently:
Cycle Count: 671
Condition: Normal
Maximum Capacity: 80%

A few questions:

  1. Is this expected behavior on Apple Silicon Macs after a deep discharge?
  2. Has anyone else had their Mac appear completely dead (including no trackpad click) and then recover after charging overnight?
  3. Should I be worried about the battery or logic board, or was this just the battery management system protecting itself?

For now the Mac is working normally, but I'd like to know whether this is a one-off event or an early sign that the battery needs replacement.

Any insights would be appreciated.
