The newer cars are highly dependent upon sensor reads for the various
computers and can/will act differently than the older analogue cars with
dying batteries. It sounds like your battery may have shorted plates,
perhaps due to sulfation or other mechanical causes, for such an abrupt
failure to occur.
I am curious, though, as to why your car would not start when jumped from a
running vehicle. If you have a voltmeter on the dash it would be
interesting to see what it shows with the key on, and then when you had the
jump going. If you do not have a dash voltmeter, an OBDII reader may be
able to show it for you.
Good luck today with the battery replacement and you might wish to compare
the voltage reading pre and post battery swaps.
best,
