If you cannot use the power button to turn off your Redmi 13, either because the button is broken or pressing it activates the assistant, you can turn off the Redmi 13 using only the screen. You must keep in mind that if the button is broken once it is turned off you will not be able to turn it on again.

5- Second step:
You already have the accessibility menu activated to be able to turn off the Redmi 13 using the screen, when you need to turn it off, click on this icon to display the complete menu.
6- Second step:
Within the accessibility menu you will see the “Power” icon; clicking on this icon will open the screen with the shutdown options shown above and you will be able to turn off your Redmi 13.
If you cannot turn off the Xiaomi Redmi 13 since it is blocked and the previous method does not work, we must proceed to turn it off and on again using the physical buttons.
To force shutdown your Redmi 13 press and hold the power button (or unlock button) for at least 8 seconds until the Xiaomi or Android logo appears on the screen and release the button as it powers up again.
As a last resort, if you can't turn off the Redmi 13 with any of the above methods and you need to turn it off, you should wait for the battery to run down. You can keep the screen on and do heavy usage to drain the battery faster.
If it continues without responding and without turning off or has gone into a loop, it is possible that some internal component such as the motherboard, memory, the screen or even the power button has broken so you will have to repair it or resort to the guarantee.
