Main camera dead after updates

The June ota update on my pixel2 killed the camera. It literally worked perfectly the day before. At first I could open it, disable, update, then open and it would work, randomly, but now it never works. It was 4 weeks over the two year warranty and Google said they could not help me. Told me that IFixUBreak, the auth repair place could fix it.

Tons of negative reviews on play store, but no answers out there. Any idea? Did the factory reset, nothing, installed other camera apps, nothing. The selfie mode is working. On the rare occasion I could get it on it takes perfect pics for about a minute, then the autofocus goes nuts and it starts to go out of focus then turns off.

Root and install an old OS or other?

My original pixel lasted right at two years as well. Feels like design obsolescence...

Go to developer options> quick setting developer tiles> sensors off. Now you will see a tile to turn on and off your sensors. Try that. When the camera sensor is off the camera will not work. So it could be an issue with the sensor
