My sourdough starter went totally flat after I moved it to a new spot
I kept it on my kitchen counter for weeks, but I moved it to a cooler cabinet last Friday and by Sunday it was just a sad, gray puddle. I tried feeding it twice with warm water, but it's not bubbling at all. Has anyone brought a starter back from something like this?

Yeah, that gray puddle is rough. Wilson.joseph is right about the warmth, reminds me of the time my starter got weird after a power outage. Just kept it on top of the fridge for a week.

A whole week on the fridge?

Ever try feeding it twice a day for a bit? Wilson.joseph has the right idea with the warmth and whole wheat, that combo usually wakes mine right up.

Honestly, moving it to a cooler spot probably just put it to sleep. Tbh I've saved one from a gray puddle by feeding it with whole wheat flour and keeping it somewhere warm for a few days. Ngl it might just need a bit more time and consistent feedings to wake back up.
