cant pull it up, tried pulling with the help of 3 people with no luck. before anyone suggests putting more pressure, the fork has max 200psi rating and in this pic it has 270psi (18.6bar). it is like a pipe bomb

Sounds like an issue with the port between the positive and negative air chambers. Could be clogged, preventing it from equalising after a big compression.
You’d need to do an air spring service on your fork (which can be done at home if you’re a competent mechanic, have the correct grease/fluids, and can follow the manual)
Obviously don’t attempt to open it while there is 200 psi in there. Remove ALL air before doing the service.
The port is on the inside of the stanchion, looks kinda like a little dimple. Clean with isopropyl, refit spring + grease. Then test it.
Did you try putting air in the positive? Equal to or more than the negative?
