Following the first Android 17 QPR1 Beta release a couple of weeks ago, Google is already back to give us Android 17 QPR1 Beta 2. There must have been enough critical bugs that they couldn’t wait until Google I/O in a couple of weeks.
This fresh update is available now as CP31.260423.012.A1 for all supported Pixel devices, which includes the Pixel 6 up through the Pixel 10 series.
The best way to get this update is through the Android Beta Program (sign-up). If you are into flashing images, there are OTA images available (here) too.
