Help with stock Google Pixel stuck in a boot loop

First off, my google pixel is 100% stock. Last night when I went to bed, I had no issues with my phone. I woke up in the middle of the night because the screen was on and very bright. It was the white google boot screen, but with a bunch of corrupted text sporadically over it, and it was stuck there. I held down the power button to reboot, but when it did it would get to my unlock screen, but be frozen there. After about 5 seconds on that screen, it would reboot itself, and just continue that over and over. I tried holding down the volume down button to get into the bootloader, but when I go into recover mode, it just gives me the logo of the green android guy with a red triangle exclamation point on it and it says "no command" below it. So I reboot, and the only way to stop the boot cycle is to to back into the boot loader and select shutdown, so that way it will stay off.

Any words of wisdom? I was really not looking to get a new phone at this point...

Try again in a few days when the February update is released. If it still doesn't work, it's possible a memory chip got fried.

If you're in the US, look up your nearest uBreakiFix location. They handle all Pixel warranties in the US. There are a number of reports in various threads of people getting their phone repaired for free, even outside of warranty.

I am in the US, but the nearest location for me is about 1.5 hours away. I guess I could give them a call to find out if it's worth the drive.

Why do you think a new OTA update would help where an old one wouldn't?

Is there any way I can flash the full image without having previously unlocked the bootloader?

Well i am experiencing the same problem on temporary basis since 2-3 days and the problem seems to be with the power button. I get it fix when i take it out of the body cover and try to clear the dust around power button and seems to fix it but it still happens in the morning or at night at home.
