I just read that Google has released its last and final update for the Pixel 3 and 3 XL.
I'm very anxious to see if it fixes the 2 issues it broke with the Android 12 upgrade.
They were BATTERY % Icon on the Status Bar, and AT A GLANCE on the home screen.
The UPDATE hasn't reached my Pixel 3 yet.

We got that update last month... here's the thread about it ;) Traditionally our last update would have been the October update... the January update was the extra one you're thinking of. https://forums.androidcentral.com/google-pixel-3-pixel-3-xl/1037541-january-update.html#post7023990

This is what I'm quoting.

Well that's definitely news to me... haven't heard anything else about that, but I'll never turn down bonus updates to (hopefully ;) ) make things even better. I'm going to start checking for updates tomorrow :p Thanks for sharing the info :D

I got the update on Monday, small only 12mb. But my phone still says it's on the October security update.

Same here... but at least it didn't break anything ;) I factory reset after the update to 12, and my phones been problem free. So good in fact I don't want to retire it yet and start using my new Z Flip 3. I just like a good working pixel too much lol.

Thanks for the good news.
Because of a bad experience with a Factory reset with my Samsung about 5 years ago, I promised myself that I would never do another Factory reset. I was particularly upset now, because everything worked perfectly on my Pixel 3 before the upgrade to android 12, nothing should "BREAK". I felt that Google Support's advice to do "A FACTORY RESET" without any other suggestion, was a poor effort, especially
since their update BROKE IT.
I am coping with the BATTERY % ICON not working on the Status Bar, but it is very inconvenient. Since you have shared your positive experience with the RESET. I may, after reading other user's experience and advice on a RESET, just bight the bullet. My Pixel 3 is loaded with customized features and if the RESET doesn't fix my problem, I will not be happy. (TO PUT IT MILDLY}.
If I do reset, I'll post again on the results.

It's been months since Android 12's update. During that update, the battery % on the Status Bar broke and it still doesn't work. On Bootup, it reflects the correct %. During the day it does not change.
I still won't FACTORY RESET.
Since 6 months have passed, has anyone found a fix. Thanks.
