Tried swapping honey for sugar in my sourdough and got a brick of a loaf

I used 1/4 cup of local raw honey instead of sugar in my usual recipe and the bread came out super dense with almost no rise after 8 hours of proofing. Has anyone else had honey kill their yeast activity like that, or did I just mess up the hydration ratio?

Bet the honey threw off your hydration bad tbh.

Ngl I used to think honey was a safe swap but this totally changed my mind.
