Burn a pod or go three days manual?

Well, I messed up. I was testing the G7 with a sample from my endo before G6 is discontinued this summer (but I’m still doing at least the next 3 months on the G6), so have been using G7 for the past 10 days. My sensor and pod expired the same morning. Perfect! Warm up the G6 while the G7 is in its grace period. Deactivate the pod once it’s empty. Put on the new pod. Start it up. Fuck. Forgot to switch the sensor back to G6.

I have no idea how the Omnipod 5 does with no CGM synced. Would you just take the pod off, get out as much insulin as possible and put on a new one? Or just ride the next 3 days in manual mode?
