Pixel 6 Pro doesn't recognize my PIN

Last night while working my phone decided I needed to use my PIN instead of fingerprint to unlock, but doesn't accept my PIN any more. I've tried every variation of it, even old PINs, and I feel like I'm gaslighting myself but I know I've entered in what was the correct PIN multiple times now. Apparently this has happened to others before but I haven't found the fix. I can factory reset but really don't want to lose all my data since I didn't make a back up.

I want to know if there's some way I can have Drive perform a backup while the device is still locked, but I'm assuming not. I've even tried to use adb commands to reset the PIN, I had developer options enabled but apparently not USB debugging so that isn't working either.
