If you were in a elevator with a charged particle accelerating due to
gravity
You mean the elevator is stationary relative to the Earth and the
charged particle is accelerating, i.e. falling, due to gravity? Or do
you mean both the elevator, you, and the particle are in free fall?
or due to a rocket in deep space you would not observe any
electromagnetic radiation, although if the elevator were made of glass
an outside observer who was not accelerating would.
But in that case the observer in the elevator would see the particle
mysteriously lose energy without radiating.

If the elevator were sitting on the surface of the Earth you would not
notice any light from the particle because it would be accelerating
but you would not be.
