Is My Angels Trumpet Plant Dying, Help Please?

Hi,
I recently posted a question about my Angels Trumpet plant being dormant and asking when this stage might end. And you were all very helpful, thank you.
I did cut back the growing tip of the plant which had died back to what I thought was healthy stem tissue, I showed this in the first post I made.
But now the upper most section is turning brown again and appears to be dying back further still, even though I have been bringing the plant indoors over night to ensure a steady rise in the temperature it is exposed to.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening or if it may an indication of a pathogen or some other condition which may be worsening? Also can you suggest a course of action to prevent possible loss of the entire plant if this is a likely outcome please?
I have included a before and after picture below:

Thanks again for your help,

Thank you for your response, yes I do know that they are not at all hardy, and during winter 2018 it was protected and on my balcony. Being in London the temperature didn't get too low and so the die back was minimal. The 1st picture was taken right after I took off the protective cover and to be honest I did leave it outside during the day after that. But if you remember we had really warm weather at that point at the end of February beginning of March. So it didn't suffer I don't think. As soon as the night's starter to grow cold again I began bringing it indoors. You could be right though and to be sure it is indoors now and I plan to leave it that way. Do you think it's too late?
Thanks .
I agree that is a good idea, I only hope that it hasn't begun dying down to the roots, if so I guess I'll know better for next time.
Thanks for your help.
