I am keeping my 3xl active forever to hold onto the storage. Still have my P5 even though I ordered a P6 as well. As long as you keep the 3xl active and don't get rid of it you can keep getting a new phone.
Pixel 3 owners: what's your next phone?

So just out of curiosity, do you mean keeping an active sim in your 3XL, or just keeping it connected to your Google account? I still have my pixel 1 connected to my account, but no active sim in it.
AFAIK, just keeping it connected to my account. My active sim is in my current phone. I still keep it enrolled in betas as well and update for releases.
I am gonna wait for a while and see the performance of the device. if any major issue pops up or if there is anything new with the chip and then I will make a decision about upgrading
Re: Nexus 6!
How about now? Are you still using the Nexus 6? If so, still with the original battery?

Encountered this problem with at a glance as well, though I managed to find a workaround.
If you don't mind your at a glance not displaying the weather, you can disable that and you should be able to open the calendar. Worked on my Pixel 3.

The problem and behavior of AT A GLANCE is really mystifying, to me at least
The settings gear lists all the options available for AT A GLANCE. Why you have to choose between WEATHER OR CALENDER, is beyond understanding.
My workaround was to keep WEATHER and move the Calendar Icon to the top of my Home Page.
It adds to the clutter, but it works for me.
I'm hoping that the update that is promised in the 1st Q 2022,has the fix.

yeah, that much is true. At a glance widget is still only working for the weather widget for some reason. Google really does need to fix that, that’s for sure.

Pixel 4xl. Very happy so far with overall performance and battery life is better than expected. The Pixel 6 looks like a good deal but not a fan of the design and in screen fingerprint reader.

Well my pixel 3XL replacement ended up being a Samsung Z Flip 3 
I know, like you guys I bleed pixel... but the Black Friday pricing was irresistible, and I'm tired of carrying a big phone in my pocket to get the big screen. I haven't opened it up yet, was debating returning it to wait for the pixel 6's to become more readily available, but I'm going to give it a shot 
Honestly I'm probably still going to pick up a pixel 6/6Pro down the road
I'm a bit addicted to the things

Funny thing happened to my 3XL. After 2 years of broke sensors, Android 12 restored all my sensors to working. So I now have back auto-rotate screen, compass, all camera functions including panorama, all gestures including flip to shh. There were a bunch of us without sensors and several Goggle support threads that Google refused to help us with, but given this turn of events, I'm probably holding on to my 3XL for a while now. It's my mixed use personal/work phone and all work functions work fine with it. SO keeping it and not upgrading for the time being, despite it having become noticeably slower.
