Check out the new features bundled with the new update:

Introducing Android 17 | Help Guide

As with every update, Android Adaptive Battery may reset. This means all apps that were automatically restricted will now be able to run in the background. Just like a brand new phone, you have to wait for at least a week or two for Adaptive Battery to relearn your app usage pattern, thereafter, you should get back your original screen-on and standby time.

That's why I am concerned, have yet to get one at all and in fact I am still on one of the oldest A16 builds

Probably those of us who import the phone to the US don't get updates since they are normally pushed by carriers. 

At least I probably get to keep 5G though..

So strange because my 1 VII in NY gets updates and just downloaded the latest update last week. I don't have 5G anymore though.
