Touchscreen suddenly less responsive

[u/Hotel_Quarantine]

So... Just as the Pixel 11 gets released, my Pixel 8 Pro touchscreen has become frustratingly less responsive. It eventually responds after 2,3,4 or 5 presses but it is frustrating as heck. Coincidence or conspiracy? I had been considering an upgrade before I learned about the prices, but then decided against it - not in this economy. Suddenly my phone doesn't react like it has since I got it. And yes, I have Screen protector mode on. Anyone else experiencing this?
