Thanks to my buddy, Pat at Tysons Porsche.
I recently parked my 996 GT3 outside with the car locked via key button for 3 weeks due to an injury while I couldn't drive. When hitting the key button to unlock it, nothing happened. I had to unlock it with the physical key and shut off the horn by inserting it into the ignition. Apparently, after 2 weeks the system goes into a sleep mode to save the battery. This can be a bit scary at first, but it makes sense.
The 997s are the same way.
