Randomly notifications/time/battery bar don't showing on lock screen (Pixel 7 256 GB)

Still didn't receive any answer from Google. I hope they will hear my feedback.
The problem occurs very often.

This is happening on my Pixel 8 recently also. Not being able to see the battery/signal info at a glance is frustrating.

A quick test:
My phone is on my desk charging.

Steps:
- Let the screen turn itself off after a few seconds
- Press the power button to wake the screen
- Note down whether the top bar is visible or not
- Repeat this test 10 times, here are the results:

attempt 1: top bar visible
attempt 2: top bar NOT visible
attempt 3: top bar NOT visible
attempt 4: top bar NOT visible
attempt 5: top bar NOT visible - but appeared after a few seconds
attempt 6: top bar NOT visible
attempt 7: top bar NOT visible
attempt 8: top bar visible
attempt 9: top bar NOT visible
attempt 10: top bar NOT visible

Summary:
The top bar on the lock screen is broken approximately 80% of the time.

I hope Google fix it soon.

Hi, you described the problem well.
Since there are no solutions to the problem, I sent a feedback to Google with the Pixel's specific function.
The more people report the problem, the sooner they will solve it, I hope.
In my opinion, however, most people do not even notice the problem.

I installed the Jan 2025 update today, that seems to fix it.

For me, however, nothing has changed, same problem. The update did not fix the problem.

Yeah you're right, today the issue is back for me.

I noticed if I reboot the phone it seems fixed again, maybe something occurs over the course of a day which breaks it.
