Google’s Battery Performance Program update was supposed to stop this.

    Just a reminder if you have a 6a you can get ~100$ or battery replacement. Its a bit of a hassle but not to hard to fill our claim. I for my 100$ ordered a 7 and installed Graphene OS.

      In Australia, one option is a cash refund for more than what I paid for the phone when new.

        Thanks for the tip, I thought it was $100 USD but just checked and I’m eligible for $452 USD for a 6a that was free when I purchased a 7pro… Insane

      I submitted for $100 dollars, but haven’t gotten any instructions on what to do. I read you’re supposed to register for some payment system, but the Google instructions don’t tell me how and what to do after.
