Airtag lost mode activated 6 min after last seen: any chance at recovering?

Hello, I have lost my Airtag, and I might have activated lost mode too late, and I want to know if it could have been paired with another account in the meantime. 


It's been 4 days, and I has not been seen again. I noticed and activated lost mode (coincidentally) just 6 minutes after it was last seen. I have read that one of the purpose of Lost Mode is to prevent anyone else from pairing with it, but since I did it too late, that might have happened already. But I have also read that it can't be easily be switched accounts without having it removed by the first owner. 


How can I know if it's been just-not-seen/removed battery/destroyed or actually switched accounts? Attached screenshots:
