Google sent me an email last week about reducing the battery capacity of my old Pixel 4a with an "update" and I ignored the links in it, assuming it was just "buy a new phone" stuff.
Anyway, turns out they're replacing the battery for free in some places (not Australia though, boo) but they offered me either $50 (USD) cash or $100 store credit for another Pixel. I took the cash and got an email saying it was approved this morning. Don't have to return the phone or anything so I can still drop Lineage on it like I was planning to.
If you've got a Pixel 4a in a drawer somewhere, check this:
