Btrfs can't boot. Wrong FS type. Missing codepage or helper program.

I was using my PC to write some JavaScript code and suddenly my PC became unresponsive. So I rebooted and can't boot anymore. It says

 wrong FS type, bad option, bad superock on /dev/nvme0n1p2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. 

I tried to mount for chroot but same problem. I tried different btefs rescue options and the day

 checksum verify failed on 37537906688 wanted 0xd54572b9 found 0x4292a0bc 

I really need my files back somehow.

It smells a bit like a hardware issue. Have you tried running smartctl on the drive?

The easiest and quickest method is probably just to restore the files from your last backup.
