yeah....I read that somebody had crashed their Mini 5 with a Mini 3 pro Plus battery when the pilot ignored under-current warnings while in Sport Mode

Droning on and on...

Minor nit: They are electrically compatible, that's why the M5P will power up, take off, and fly. Unfortunately they do not have sufficient power to operate the drone under all conditions.
Perhaps there will be a firmware update in the future that will disable this. Would be wise on DJI's part.
Yes, you’re correct. I should have said that the mini 3/4 batteries are electrically compatible and will work BUT are liable to cause problems if put under load.
It would have been so simple to design in an extra groove in the battery case and a lug in the drone body to stop non compatible batteries being used. Cost cutting perhaps, or just another oversight to go with the excess weight and missing green lights during recording video.

Since the Skyrover drones are really DJI underneath I'll point out that they got removed from Amazon today but can still be purchased on their website: SKYROVER | Ultimate Under 249g Mini Drones with 8K & 15KM Range
The X1 Flymore Combo at $630 is a killer deal IMHO since its almost a Mini 4 Pro and people seem to want to sell those used for ~$1k.

We have no idea why all the Skyrover products magically disappears, could be any number of reasons:

We don't know if Amazon removed Skyrover or if they are just out of stock. The Skyrover storefront is still live on Amazon, and you can still order drone accessories.
He was told it is over the brand name. They will have to change it, and even then, no one will know what to search for, to find them on the web or on Amazon. It's like starting over. They can't even use the original name in the rebranding: "New Drone Brand, formerly Skyrover." As a new start up, operating on a shoestring, where they apparently couldn’t even afford a trademark search before operating, the damages from having already used the Skyrover trademarked name will likely put them completely out of business.
Make sense; they're not DJI (trying to sneak unbranded drones into America); DJI would not make such a rookie mistake.
Which specific link has not been properly updated?
I spot checked those I have been monitoring and they were still current as of yesterday.

Yep, the first post is being updated daily.
Did I miss any great deals? Were you able to pick up yours at a great deal elsewhere?
It appears as though you can still order Skyrover drones from their website as well: SKYROVER | Ultimate Under 249g Mini Drones with 8K & 15KM Range
I chatted with B&H yesterday and the agent I talked to said that this is covered under full warranty (not that I think they all know what they are talking about, so taking that with a grain of salt). Also Allstate insurance 1 year drops and spills is $549, 2 year $879. $350 deductible. I asked if they price matched on the creator combo and they said they could not, the price was firm at $4999. Checked today and I see this:
Regular price: $4,999.00: Last Minute Savings $500.00. Price now: $4,499.00.
Not sure how long the sale is on for.

I also believe all DJI products have a full DJI warranty to be free of defects and workmanship; however, the process for making a warranty claim is going to be difficult for the US buyers. If you bought your drone from South Korea then you will need to process your warranty thru "DJI Korea" (the region you bought your drone from) and that usually involves a Korean mailing address and/or credit card.
I will probably receive pushback on this but I don't believe DJI will refuse to stand behind your purchase should they discover they did something very very wrong with their drone only they might not be able to help you out very easily with resolution. This is a bit different than your drone crashing and you claim it's a DJI "warranty" problem....that's probably won't fly (no pun intended).
