Nest Wired Doorbell stopped at communicating

After updating our Nest App syncing with google home our doorbell stopped communicating. That was three weeks ago after multiple efforts and four hours of my life that I will not get back. I am told that our door bell warranty expired in 2019 and we have to buy a new one. The doorbell portion works just fine. It’s powered up, doorbell rings and the light is on as if it’s OK, just zero communication with the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth when trying to reconnect.  I feel bad for the technicians as it seems like they are working off a script. If you ask a question outside of that script you’re out of luck and get regurgitated mumbo jumbo, unfortunately they have zero latitude to offer a customer service solution like replacing the doorbell especially if it’s a defective software communication issue. At the beginning of the 2 hour phone call today I discovered that after my issue was forwarded Feb 8th to the escalation department, the escalation department emailed me back with an incorrect email address which I never received. I was told by the technician that I had missed my opportunity to have a dialogue with that escalation department representative and they could not re-escalate to start the dialogue over. She forwarded me to a technician whom spent another hour completing all the troubleshooting that we have already spent two hours on with the previous technician a week ago only to reach a point of re-escalating it. Meanwhile, here we sit without any security at our doorstep.
