Yeah they sent a communication to pixel 6a owners saying that they will force an update that will reduce battery usage. In case you did not know, Google is providing a 100$ check, or 150$ discount on their store for 6a owners.

Whoa that happened to the 6a as well? That whole thing with the 4a was a disaster.

Experiencing it right now... Still no battery update for my phone, but I am currently away on vacation and am dreading the moment it will become a fancy brick

Yup, got my 100$ yesterday -it is anti-lawsuit stuff but will cover the cost of fixing a new battery
