2022 Volkswagen GTI — no crank with full dash power, then it starts later

2022 Volkswagen GTI SE, about 79,000 miles. Twice I have had full lights and accessories but no crank. After waiting a few minutes it starts normally. Battery terminals look clean. What would you want to measure during the actual failure? I am trying not to assume the first explanation I see online.

Ask what changed right before it started. Loaded-suspension checks on the 2022 Volkswagen GTI catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. Save the big job until that test fails. This is from a 2022 Volkswagen GTI in Baltimore with 79,000 miles. When does it actually happen? If the story changes I'll post the new data.

Quick add on that: Move a coil or plug on the 2022 Volkswagen GTI if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.
