I also have a Pixel 6 Pro and am not aware of this issue. Should I be worried?
There was a lot of coverage of it back at the beginning of July. Wish I'd paid more attention then haha.

Google's official position is "contact us" which I did today, but they wouldn't tell me whether it would cost me or not without sending them a video of the problem, which rubbed me the wrong way. I know my phone is out of warranty now but the manufacturer broke this with their own update. Probably no more Google hardware for me. ๐
Edit: This link includes steps to avoid the problem. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/283220215#redirected=true
Thanks for sharing that! Hopefully I don't have any catastrophic failures any time soon.
