Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL and Pixel 4a are end-of-life and shouldn't be used anymore due to lack of most security patches for firmware and drivers. We provide extended support for harm reduction with the displayed patch level frozen at the last obtainable value

The older Pixels (up to Pixel 5a) only get three years of security updates, and the 4a got released in August of 2020 (the non-a model even earlier), so... yes, its EOL now.

Pixel 6 and 7 series get five years of Security updates, and the upcoming 8 series is rumored to get seven years.
