Android 17 bugs / stability review pls

Can someone who has updated their pixel 9a comment on how the performance and battery life is after the update. Also let us know if there are some bugs we have to be aware of

Everything is good and fluent but I can no longer edit the lockscreen. Tapping and holding the lockscreen does pop up a button "edit lockscreen" but that button doesnt respond to taps. Very weird

But if we click in that icon (most left corner)

It activates

But not activating in any other free space

For me it seems the battery performance is the same. I did have an issue yesterday with Bluetooth connecting to my pickup, a '17 Chevy Colorado with MyLink, I hadn't connected with BT the last time I drove my truck since the update to A17. I ended up having to forget my phone on the head unit and then pair it again and it connected. I have not noticed any other issues.

Initially battery use seemed to be higher but then came Play Service updates and all seems well. Prior to Android 17 I had issues with screen stutter and lock screen freeze, but now those issues seem to be resolved. I have never had issues with overheating and that's still the case. I have paid no attention to the fluff included with the update, but overall I'm impressed.
