Did as advised, went to to support page, pasted the IMEI. Result? My Pixel 6a is apparently not a Pixel 6a for Google...

Same with me. I had just changed my SIM last month, forced by the phone company. Luckily I had an inactive eSIM from a trip abroad from last year as IMEI2; that Google liked.

Btw, changing the SIM card does not change the IMEI - that's tied to the phone.
