how do I update Android 9 on my Pixel 2 without upgrading to Android 10?

[Rooster99]

I have a Pixel 2 running Android 9 Build PQ3A 190801.002 with my latest security patch dated Aug 1, 2019. I'd like to update my security patch and to the latest rev of Android 9 without upgrading to Android 10 as a couple of my key apps haven't been tested on Android 10 yet.

But when I go to System > Advanced > System Update the only option I have is to upgrade to Android 10.

Any info on how to update Android 9 without upgrading to Android 10?

TIA - R.

Find the image for latest security on 9.0 and side load it with adb command.

You'd have to manually install it following the steps here: https://www.androidcentral.com/how-update-software-your-google-pixel. You should be able to find the last Pie build image in the official Google page.

Google is not releasing security patches for Pie, Aug. 2019 is the last security patch on Pie for that device, the next patch is the OS update to 10.

Ah yes, what you say makes more sense. I was under the impression the OP wanted the latest available Pie build.

August 2019 was the last Android 9 build. September 2019 build was Android 10. It's all at Google | Factory Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices and Google | Full OTA Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices.
