If you click through the blog post to the support page listing for Pixels they do suggest that Pixel 1s will continue to get unlimited uploads, and Pixel 3s will get them until the original expiration of Jan 31, 2022. The expiration for Pixel 2 will have already expired.

If I had a Pixel 1 that was covered, but now have a Pixel 5, do I get original size or the reduced?

It appears that it's locked to the device you're using, so I would guess you're limited to "high quality". That's a real problem for, say, people taking photospheres, which generally clock in at around 40MP, and will be reduced to 2MP at "high quality".

Oh no, that's terrible. I really need to migrate, I guess. I was getting tired for paying for Google drive anyway. Onto someone elses family plan, I go.
