Seems to me like a 30-minute drive should've gave it enough juice to start again.

Or maybe the battery has just outlived its usefulness in early 2019?
My mazdaspeed 6 battery was replaced last year and was ~7 years old

VW jetta replaced at a year.

I think the time you got out of yours is good/on target.
