Just found out my battery warranty resets after a firmware update

Last week I took my car to the dealer in Tacoma for a routine check and they pushed a software update. The tech mentioned that the battery health data got recalibrated, and now the warranty clock shows 8 years from today instead of 2025. I checked the owner's manual and a forum thread, and apparently this is a known thing for my model year. Has anyone else had their warranty term silently extended like this after an OTA update?

Whoa, wait, they can just change the warranty like that?

Honestly, they usually have fine print that lets them change stuff like that.
