Solution: get a carbon steel pan.
laughs in cast iron
This grudge is why Thorin chipped the glasses and cracked the plates, even though that's what Bilbo Baggins hates.
So relatable! I too cook with pans in the kitchen!
I'm 90% cast iron, carbon steel, or stainless but you need to be pretty committed or pretty scared to not use any nonstick if you are a busy person. Sometimes the ease of throwing something on a nonstick with little to no oil and a fast easy cleanup or leave it with sauce sitting in it for a day or two and then deal with it later just can't be beat. The trick with nonstick is to avoid high heats and buy a new one every two years or so. Go cheap when doing so. I've found no real advantage of the expensive nonsticks over the cheap ones.
Did you scratch it? Let me guess, you used a metal fork or spatula.
Either take care of the surface or get a nice cast iron. Possibly both.
A cheap nonstick pan will keel over even if you exclusively touch it with soft cotton gloves.

Non sticks are disposable. They will eventually degrade no matter the care.
I use one small 8in for eggs abd the rest of my cooking it's cast iron or steel.
You got the pan too hot and probably messed with it too soon. Med/low heat throw it in let it solidify then go to town. Use cast iron and there's practically no clean up.
