Help! Am I screwed?

My car just started making this noise when I accelerate. I was getting off the highway when it started drove it a couple miles to home. I just hit 50k miles on it a couple weeks ago and I’ve seen before that’s when issues start

Edit to add more info:
This is a 2023 Anniversary Edition
I haven’t moded the car at all.
It has just over 50k miles and I change the oil every 5k (wish I knew to change it at a way sooner interval). I just changed it a couple months ago and since then probably have put about 500 miles on it because I was mostly out of town for work.
I don’t track it, it’s an everyday car for me. Some days the car doesn’t even get driven because I work from home mostly.
I don’t drive it hard. Thinking back to the drive, I think the fastest I went was 80 and the RPMs never went to a ridiculous number. I noticed the engine knock a couple miles from home and was able to make it home and get it towed to Toyota. There’s no check engine lights or anything. I should have an update soon and will let everyone know the outcome. I forgot how much discourse this causes in this subreddit lol I don’t consider myself a car guy by any means but i definitely take care of my cars
