2025 Polo R line dead battery

Hi all,
Have a 25 Polo R Line. Was driven on a 1 hour to/1hour back commute yesterday, no issues at all. Got up this morning and went to unlock and it's totally dead. Opened it manually, key in ignition and nothing. Popped bonnet and checked battery voltage and it's only 4 volts
What's happened, do the batteries die literally overnight? Is it worth sticking a charger on it or do I just leave it to VW to sort out?
The only thing different "thing" was using the heated seat briefly on the way out, but this is probably just coincidence.
Any advice greatly received, thanks!
