You might need a new dip tube. It's a pretty cheap repair.

This is the answer, cold water coming in is going right out to hot side since dip tube is cracked.

It’s possible but all depends on how quickly they shower. I believe the dip tube failed on my 9 year old Brandford White 40 gallon. It would get much colder after 5 minutes in the shower. After a few more minutes it was only warm on full hot. Due to how much rust there was at the cold water tank inlet I chose to replace the tank.
