It’s hard to say why Google is doing this instead of a recall.

Recall: need to spend millions

Push an automatic update that artificially limits the battery to just 1500mah: every phone now become electric waste that lasts only a few hours and surely people would even buy a new Pixel 😉

This is a shitshow. This is how you get people not to trust you and to go out of their way to disable automatic updates. Did Grapheneos also send the update?

LSN-tagged batteries assigned the “debug” profile can see capacity reduced from 3,080 milliamp hours (mAh) to 1,539 mAh.

Two hours on a charge or less

Amazing work there Google. Perfect. No notes.
