5V x 2.4A = 12W

The Pixel 6a can pull a maximum of 18W, so a 12W charger will only be slightly slower, and only when doing a full charge from near empty. The difference will be pretty small, probably 20-30 minutes difference in a zero to 100 charge, and 5-10 minutes for a partial charge, say 50 to 100%.

thanks captain! would you say just stick with that wall charger then? i don't mind the slower charge at all. its just that a person on reddit said the battery will degrade if its not picking up 18w and then another one said the official one is rapid and that degrades as well.

all i can say is using the one i have been using doesn't feel like it really heats up on the phone or on the wall charger so i'm guessing its minimal stress, unlike the rapid one i was given which heated up.
