Yeah @VECTION,
In that case most likely the refund will fail and then you'll get an email with instructions how to provide an alternate payment method. Can still take some days though, but since Google said refunds will be processed the latest until Jan 18, 2023, there's still some time left, so probably best in that case to wait and see if the email arrives.
About the "refund declined" message that you see, I am not sure what it means or why it was declined, but you can double check as well on pay.google.com if the status there does also show as refund declined.
Maybe it's also an idea to double check if these two items are not getting refunded because Google didn't state that you'll get a refund. They said "We will be offering refunds for all Stadia hardware purchases (Stadia Controller, Founder's Edition, Premiere Edition, and Play and Watch with Google TV packages) made through the Google Store and software transactions (games and add-on purchases) through the Stadia Store. Stadia Pro subscriptions are not eligible for a refund. However, you can continue playing your games in Pro without further charges until the final wind-down date."
Maybe that helps you a bit to narrow done the decline reason.
