I'm using a pixel 6 and everything has been fine and I've traveled a fair bit around the world with it.
Try factory resetting it and don't restore apps and settings from backup

I've got a pixel 6, never had any issues with it. I would recommend all the usual suspects: turn it off and on, update, factory reset.
If you are up to date I remember people complaining that the latest update broke some stuff for them, that might be your issue?
I have a Pixel 4a 5G, and only now am I reluctantly upgrading. Reluctantly because it still works wonderfully, but I want wireless charging, and continued Graphene support.
I'm on 6a but I do miss the 4a 5g, the proportion were better, the texture felt good and I miss that little white button.
I tryed it out again and its noticeable slower than the 6a
I pretty much only use my phone for messaging, email, calendar, and browsing Lemmy. So I can't say I've felt it slow.
I have a 7a arriving in a day or two. Looking forward to giving it a spin.
My 6a is fully a downgrade from my 3a which broke and I lament its passing every time I use the in screen fingerprint reader
It's bigger, heavier, the battery is worse :(
I'm sure I had a lemon, but I think I had either the first or 2nd gen phone and it broke within 6 months. I had it in my hoodie pocket and I felt it vibrate so I took a look and it went into boot loop. Sadly I did not turn on developer mode so I could not get access to it or wipe it and the reset wouldn't work either. Essentially it was wiped and I lost everything. I also don't remember why but they did not allow the warranty either. Good news was it was a work phone so I did not pay for it. It was the only one I tried and I will not go back. I enjoy my Samsung.
Ive noticed my pixel 6a will quickly disconnect reconnect to WiFi, phone calls I become muted for the other person at random. I think they cheaped out on the networking or the implementation of the networking.
Also worth noting that its been this way with several ROMs
I bought mine when it fiest came out and I'm not really having any major issues. I find the screen rotation will occasionally act flaky and I had to reboot a couple of times because the keyboard wouldn't come up qhen I touched a dialog box, but that stopped with the last update. Sorry you're having trouble.
My 3a is really solid
I have a pixel 6a and it works great. However, I did run GrapheneOS shortly after I got it, so that may be why. I don't use the Stock OS.
So google might be trying to get you to buy the newest phone? I know apple likes to slow down their old phones so people upgrade, maybe Google does the same.
Let me guess you had multiple profiles? Get a samsung or a OnePlus. Should be better. Pixels are known to have issues from time to time with new updates. The recent storage bug had people losing their data for example.
