Toddler is basically fully trained but is now holding and refusing pee in the potty

As the title states, our 2YO (almost 2.5) has been fully potty trained for a month. But these past few days he’s been refusing to sit on the potty to pee. We just went through a whole week of sickness and he was still able to go poop and pee.

So now he is holding in his pee for 4-5hrs at a time and refusing to pee until it inevitably flows onto the floor.

I did try bribing once and it worked but I don’t want to go down that slippery slope again.

I’m not sure what’s happening. I’ve basically stopped prompting and I just give him the odd reminder that mom and dad are here and the potty is there and he can choose to go anytime himself (which he was previously doing).
