The automatic software update to Android 13 introduces new battery management features to improve the stability of your device, which will reduce your battery's runtime and charging performance.
Google goes into more detail on a support page about the Pixel 4a Battery Performance Program, noting that only some "Impacted Devices" will see the reduced capacity and charging performance.
Those with impacted phones have one year from the scheduled software update on January 8, 2025, to choose an "appeasement option," such as free battery replacement or payment.
This week, owners of the 4a are getting a new update, along with an email titled 'Changes coming to your Pixel 4a.'
