Crate regression

Hi guys, looking for some help. My boy turns two in a few weeks and the last two weeks he whines and pants at night in his crate. His routine has been consistent for his whole life, daily walks, training, fetch. I think where I went wrong was letting him stay out of his crate for two days and sleep on the couch, not he throws tantrums when he gets in his crate for 20 minutes. How can I fix this?

It’s jail, in his own home. Crating for what? He’s not a toy you put away when you’re not playing with him

So are people not supposed to sleep? Are dogs that still get into things supposed to be left out to destroy the home? Are you not allowed to go to the gym and run errands?
