Arduino Nano 33 IoT powered by Cr2032 coin cell battery?

This paper describes tests on CR2032 under "high current" conditions and shows that short 15 mA bursts are not that harmful. https://e2echina.ti.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/104/7510.swra349-Coin-cells-and-peak-current-draw.pdf

The average current draw has a huge effect on battery capacity and lifetime, as documented here. https://www.dmcinfo.com/Portals/0/Blog%20Files/High%20pulse%20drain%20impact%20on%20CR2032%20coin%20cell%20battery%20capacity.pdf

I imagine that the OP's setup draws maybe 10 mA on average, so the lifetime estimate in the reply #3 above is not applicable.
