Missed meeting with future boss…

Currently going insane since I messed up and missed my meeting with the head broker who is supposed to sponsor me. After joining and waiting for 10-15 minutes, I checked the meeting details again and it said it was half an hour later. Confused and concerned, I figured I fucked up despite confirming the time with his assistant a week ago. Though it isn’t my first time meeting him, I fear his perception of me is ruined for good. I’ve reached out immediately and am waiting for a response.

Should I have waited longer even though it was a 30 min meeting? How bad did I fuck up? And do you have any recommendations on what to do now?

I am an idiot

It was a zoom meeting, forgot to clarify. I waited 15 mins then assumed I made a mistake (thinking it was 8 instead of 8:30) so went to grab coffee, but it ended up being him that was 20 mins late. So when I joined again at 8:25, he had already logged off. Definitely my mistake for prioritizing coffee and not waiting longer.
