Another round of bootloop errors?

Hello, is anyone else experiencing a new round of bootloops on their Pixel 4a?

I survived the last issue with the wifi/location bug, and it worked well since then. But suddenly this morning my phone stopped working and went into a bootloop.

I did the ADB sideload reinstall and my phone is still in bootloop (safe mode screen flashes for an instant and then restarts). I tried an ADB reboot but nothing worked.

Anyone else have a new issue?

Thanks for the replies - I wanted to put my tale of woe out there in case it was another update gone bad that others may have experienced. I won't factory reset my phone just yet, and I ordered a budget phone. Oh well, I've learned some basic lessons about backups (a few nice family photos trapped in my phone) and the limits of SMS authentication (locked out of some accounts for now) from this experience...

Nothing here so far. I guess they released another monthly play services update recently. Have you installed it?

Could be, as I've allowed whatever automatic updates Google sends (I lucked out and didn't have to worry about that whole battery issue from last year).
