You can get a refund IF you did the replacement at Apple or an authorised repair centre. Given that this is likely not the case due to Apple's ludicrous repair pricing, I'd say no, you can'y get any refund. Sucks
Is there any mention on the capacity of the replacement battery? Are they promising the replacement will have equal or greater battery capacity than the original specification?
My iphone SE battery was replaced during the CPU throttle debacle they had last year, and despite the battery capacity shown as 100% right after replacement; The rate of capacity degradation of the replacement battery is far outpacing the original one they replaced. The phone lose 12% capacity over 24+ months originally, and have lost 10% over 11 months on the 'courtesy' replacement.
I have never seen the official degradation stats from any phone manufacturer. 1%/month, if real, should make any normal person avoid sealed battery designs.
My SE now at 89% SoH no longer last till the end of a workday on a single charge. While last year it lasted till end of the workday at 85% SoH.
I wish I can see iphone CPU powerstates to check if Apple tweaked their Pstates transitions to make it more power hungry instead of throttling. Net results are the same, I have to upgrade...
Apple has made it painfully clear that they don't care whatsoever about enterprise customers. If a business is in a position where they can't afford more than a brief amount of downtime per employee, they shouldn't have bought Apple hardware to start with.

Apple updated those battery health estimates multiple times.About 1% per month is completely normal.

They do have next day in-house support for enterprise, though I'm not sure if they'd do this battery swap.ricki stevenson - Friday, January 3, 2020 - link
