Found some more info on the new Live Updates feature in Android 16, which lets progress-centric notifications appear prominently on the lock screen/AOD and also show a tiny chip in the status bar for ongoing alerts.
This is the API (setShortCriticalText) that apps can use to set what text to show in the status bar chip. Google suggests a max length of 7 characters, which is not a lot to work with in English but can go a long-way in some other languages.

The OnePlus Watch 3 is launching next week!
OnePlus has confirmed its next flagship smartwatch is launching next Tuesday in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
The OnePlus Watch 3 will have class-leading battery life (up to 120 hours in Smart Mode, up to 16 days in Power Saver Mode) thanks to its large 631mAh Silicon NanoStack battery and Dual-Engine Architecture (Snapdragon W5 chipset for performance plus BES2800 MCU for efficiency).
It'll come in two colors: Emerald Titanium and Obsidian Titanium. It'll have a stainless steel casing, a titanium alloy bezel with PVD coating, and a 2D Sapphire Crystal display.
The OnePlus Watch 2 was my favorite smartwatch of 2024, and it's still the one I wear today. If OnePlus just improves on the formula, then the Watch 3 will probably be my favorite watch of 2025.
