What’s going on in this video clip. Truck won’t start

So I decided to detail my truck today (2011 GMC Canyon CC SLT Off-Road) and when I was done it wouldn’t start.
Tried to jump it with Wife’s car and all it would do is click-click-click.
I took a short video but can’t figure out how to share it. In it the gauge cluster is vibrating. This went on for several minutes before I disconnected the battery terminal. What’s going on here?
Thanks

Battery or starter. Leaning towards a battery.

took it to advance auto. It tested for 3 CCA when it was rated for 640. Leaving overnight to charge. Thanks for writing back
How old it the battery? Maybe toast?

So yeah it very well may be. But wasn’t planning on $160 bill today
Yeah I hear ya. Good Luck.. At 3 CCA it doesn't sound promising. Might get it prorated and save a few bucks?
It’s outside warranty (3years) but yeah, I’ll see if this works in the short term and get a replacement in a few weeks.
My 3/17 battery just died after a 20 day no start. Jumper pack fired it right up, i"ve been able to recharge back to 12.2 volts but don't trust it. You can upgrade to the diesel battery, good youtube video on it.

To post a video, upload it to Youtube then provide the link.
I had a similar experience with my 2020 SLT, 2.8 after it sat for 3-4 weeks. In my thread I asked if leaving the key in the ingnition, (in off position), would draw the battery down. Someone posted that they thought they had heard that leaving the key in the ignition would draw the battery down. Can anyone confirm this? I have always left the key in the ignition on other vehicles for months while in our garage or while working on it on the lift.
