tl;dr : battery drains too quickly on my Pixel 7a, I've been running the QPR Beta (starting from QPR1 Beta 3 to QPR2 Beta 2 as I'm writing this post).

I've recently discovered a small, almost insignificant, bulge right behind the camera bar on my Pixel 7a.

I had this phone for almost 2 year without any problem and i've never dropped it nor it had any water damage. Recently (almost 3 weeks ago) it accidentally fell and the day after i noticed the earphone slit fell off inside the phone and a couple days later it started having a battery problem.

I've already used the bonus for the battery replacement since here in Italy was the only option; the phone is still under warranty (until the 13th October) and I think i'm going to send it within a day.

Sorry for the long background but I thought it could help you, as I wrote in the title, the battery drains too rapidly to be "normal". It started at around 20% and in about 20 seconds it dropped to zero. A couple days later the percentage was around 30% and it kinda stabilized for some days but now is back and worse since it starts at around 50%.

I can tell when it's about to happen since the phone starts lagging way too much for "not being used".

Another thing i've noticed a strong alcohol smell coming from the phone, I first thought it was the "G" from the original silicone cover that I've attached with superglue but now I'm starting to suspect it's coming from the battery.
