Similar experience — and interestingly it can be seen in my resting heart rate over time and VO2 inference on my watch. The acute fatigue was quite bad (and is what people seem to talk about) but the milder lingering fatigue reduced my running and lifting performance across the board and left me tired in the late afternoon rather than the evening. It’s not life altering per se, but it impacted my routines and productivity noticeably.

Thankfully after 5 months I seem to have kicked it fully, and am ripe for another infection. Needless to say I got the bivalent booster before the holidays

I had very mild COVID in September and I totally have this problem . I have a constant urge to just go to sleep and have been afternoon napping fairly often, compared to my previous habits of never napping ever. I'm hopeful that most people talk about it lifting after six months
Resting heart rate and HRV are super useful. In my case, I knew I was going to be sick before I felt symptoms just from the sleep data.

On Garmin you can indicate you are sick and it will stop your poor training from disrupting your VO2 inference.
