Zenfone 8 bricked after OS update

Just today (20 Nov 2023, around 4pm local time at GMT +8, Malaysia), my Zenfone 8 indicated that a new Android version is available for download. I downloaded it and when prompted for a reboot, I proceed to do so. The Zenfone 8 has been bricked since then.

It won't accept charging, will not reboot regardless whatever combination of button presses. How to force a restart short of bringing the phone to the local authorised service center?

I love the Zenfone series, have been a Zenfone user since the Zenfone 2. However, I may change my mind.....

Sadge. The way these are going, I'm seriously dreading anything going wrong with my Asus mobo and GPU. Hopefully different teams on different projects...
