What happened to it? Any ideas?

Hit by something, or an internal problem?

After what happened to Intelsat 29e (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19658800) it's probably an issue with the satellite bus.

"Late on 7 April, the Intelsat 29e propulsion system experienced damage that caused a leak of the propellant on board the satellite resulting in a service disruption to customers on the satellite." [0]

Intelsat 29e, way back in 2019, but that's interesting. Some kind of onboard issue?

Boeing would be very unlucky to lose two satellites with the same bus to external causes.
