Will i be able to get my battery serviced/replaced? I use a 2018 Macbook Pro 15", and would like to continue using it, as it runs everything i need for work. i see i can schedule a service for the battery but i also saw when i look for a price, it shows my computer is now a legacy device and batteries aren't made for this model anymore?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.7

It would have to be a third party replacement—
Try OWC/Macsales if you are determined

Not sure I would recommend a do it your self however, w/ glued-in battery and adhesives....this is not a simple task.
more than likely the advice would be time to upgrade to a newer machine...

Apple still shows the 2018 model as "Vintage". This means Apple will repair it as long as parts are still available.

And what region of the world is this...?
Very hard to speculate, but I am afraid I do not see the words "legacy device" in the interface.
Typically Vintage or Obsolete... if that is the casein you region, you are back to third party,
I did see OWC/Macsales is out of stock on that item.
So it does beg a few questions
maybe you can say more about your location and the link you used to have it return as a legacy device?
