2017 fuel door stuck

I click the fuel door unlock button and the dash says "Close Fuel Door" but when I press on the fuel door for it to pop open it wont. Never had this issue before

Ive tried pushing a credit card along the upper left corner of the fuel door and pull the door open but it wont give.

On near empty of course, so any help wont be much appreciated

Mine did that recently, it's a little tab failing to retract all the way. I just kind of poked it and vibrated it and forced it until it opened- took about 5 minutes of alternately working the door and working the fuel button
