Question Strange Alarm Issue

2018 TRD ORP - No modifications to the electrical system except the "tail as turn" mod with LEDs. No aftermarket alarm.

Today while I was at work a colleague told me my panic alarm was going off. I went out to my rig and it was honking/flashing the lights but only at about 1/3 volume. Pressing the unlock button on my fob did nothing. I unlocked the drivers door with the key, put the key in the ignition and tried to start it. No response, but the honking/flashing stopped. Turning the key back to off started the honking/flashing again. Turning to ON stopped it. No matter where the key was the doors wouldn't unlock and the windows wouldn't go up or down. No lights on the dash, but the gauge needles did "flicker".

I disconnected the negative battery terminal and let it sit for about an hour. When I reconnected it the honking/flashing started up again, this time at full volume. This time pressing the unlock button on the key fob got it to stop and unlocked the doors. Trying to start it got the dead battery clicks. I jumped it and now everything is working fine. I wouldn't have any indication something had happened except my clock was reset...

Any ideas? What should I do now? I haven't had a chance to test the battery yet.

Edit: Apparently it was honking/flashing for about 10 minutes.
