Classic "time for a new battery" symptoms.
The drive home was less than ten minutes so might not be enough time.

Battery showing 12.1 volts on my multimeter with car off and no load. I’ll check it when it’s running later today.

I plugged it into my CTEK tender just now and it runs some test which came back fine for battery condition.

It won’t hurt to get a new battery but I would still like to rule out starter related possibilities.
