 From here:

https://www.pgadmin.org/download/pgadmin-4-apt/

Platform             Architecture First supported release Last supported
Debian 12 (Bookworm) x86_64 	  7.0 	                   -

So yes it will continue to be updated as long as Debian 12 is current.

I use Ubuntu 22.04 and pgAdmin regularly updates/upgrades.

I have never run it after the first download.

I have never gone that deep into it as I rarely use pgAdmin.
