I just completely choked my first coding assessment

So today I had my first online assessment for a junior cloud engineering traineeship and it I completely panicked during the leetcode-style coding challenge. As it was a traineeship for a junior position I expected it to be less about solving a specific solution in a leetcode-style task and prepared more for architectural questions in the interview. I had 40 minutes time for 2 tasks and after I hadn’t had anything significant after 15 minutes I completely blacked out for a minimum of 10 minutes and didn’t even finish the first task. I feel like I let myself down and I don’t know where to go from here. Any tips or advice?
I have a masters degree in Business Informatics and roughly 4-5 years working experience in IT project management in the public sector but I want to do a more technically challenging job but the job market at the moment is really unsettling.
