Wasn't there a recent recall of 4a phones that had their battery life killed by an update? My friend could barely keep his on for an hour. My Pixel 5 also turned into a broken mess in its last year. It was as if I had a completely different phone. I was hoping to keep it for at least two more years but the battery became really bad and the OS became super buggy.
