What key offering are you referring to? Re subscribing? You are Eligible to get a new phone any day you want, go to the store and buy one, or buy one online. You would have had to pay for the phone through the plan. They even through in a 100 dollars if you wanted to buy the next pixel.

I never had the pass, so I might be wrong, but IIRC a key point was that for a fixed monthly rate, purchasers of the pass were guaranteed upgrades every two years. That means that Google offered to cap the cost of their phones.

They got rid of this plan, so I suspect the next pixels will be released at higher price points.
