Google just approved an RMA for my Pixel 7 due to a swollen battery. Since the Pixel 10 is the current flagship, the 7 is now three generations behind.

The support email vaguely mentioned I’d receive a replacement "depending on device availability." For anyone who has done an RMA recently for a device this old, what did you actually receive?

Do they still keep enough refurbished Pixel 7s in the warehouse, or is there a chance I might get bumped up to a Pixel 8 or 9 since the older models are out of active circulation?

Would love to hear recent experiences!
