As long as the repair shop is reputable it’s not too hard. I was looking at options on iFixit when I first heard this update was coming down the pipeline. I guess I am lucky that mine was already a refurbished unit when I bought it so it looks like the battery has already been replaced.
I replaced a few batteries myself before in a Nexus 6 and a Pixel 4a. The guides really help as does having the right tools. It’s also helpful that iFixit offers genuine battery replacements.
It looks like I can go to a local repair shop to get the battery changed out. Anyone have experience with that option?

Currently out of stock but that’s probably due to this update that wrecked so many users battery life.
