Put her over to auto, immediately revved higher and got power. Then back to manual, and problem was cleared. Too identical to be coincidence.
The car has rev matching downshifting so most likely you were in 4th at a very slow speed (stop and go as you said) 20-25? Which is too much strain on the tranny to produce any power.

Next time this happens down shift even more and test it out. OP should try it out as well!
