October Update

After clicking on Check for update 50+ times, I caved in did my usual; sideload the ota
I am good now
 
This aggravates the hell out of me! Bought an unlocked phone straight from Google to avoid carrier BS and because I have a T-Mobile SIM in my unlocked, fully paid off phone I can't get prompt updates
Do as mxmarcus did (and I do every month). As soon as the update is ready, download it from Google | Full OTA Images for Nexus and Pixel Devices and install it yourself. The instructions are on the same page.

I used to go that route too, but I recently switched to a Chromebook and I don't have a Windows machine. The little bit I've looked into getting ADB on a Chromebook it looks to be a PITA, so sadly side loading is not an option for me at the moment.
 
Purchased from Google on Google fi but nothing for me either.......normally get them fast.....not this time.
 
October update is only if you upgrade to Q/10? Updates stop if you stay on Pie?

Yes, the September update for the Pixel devices was Android 10, any further security updates will be to Android 10 with nothing further coming for Pie.

Unfortunately it sounds like you're being strong-armed into updating to 10 =-O
On the plus side 10 is running great for most of us, and even though I'm not a big fan of os upgrades I'm glad I did this one. It's working just as good as pie in every way with some very nice bonuses :-D
