Why is my MacBook Pro's trackpad not clicking (haptic feedback)

I use a macbook pro M1, a couple of weeks ago i noticed my trackpad wasn't giving haptic feedback when i pressed it. I restarted my MacBook and it started clicking for about 10 presses. The last press triggered a pretty big vibration from the haptic motor and completely stopped working since. I restarted it once more and it did the same thing. A couple of weeks later my trackpad is completely dead, its very uncomfortable since it doesnt move at all, so im forced to tap to click. Does anybody know any solution to this? Not sure if its a hardware problem.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.0
