Quitting the lobby before a raid battle starts

After entering the lobby for a raid, would I get my raid pass back if I choose to quit the lobby (the bit where you choose your pokemon and wait for others to join) before the actual start of the raid battle?

Nope, the pass is lost forever in the pockets of Niantic, like millions and millions a day. You have until the timer goes down to try to get it, if not the pass is lost.

If you have bad luck and no one is around, there will be no raid for you unless you buy more of them and go to other raids or wait to the next day.

In case you live in an area with low amount of players and you can't do raids because it will mean the lost of your passes I suggest you to do level 1, 2 and wait for external apps/websites that will tell you the people that is in the lobby. I don't care if people call me cheater, this is a huge flaw for me and as I feel tricked and laughed as a customer I am gonna use those apps for sure until Niantic decide to do the things right and let me see the lobby BEFORE using my pass (Probably won't ever happen, still waiting for a good tracker since they removed the 3 steps on the first month)

No.

One you use that raid pass you are forever committed to that raid battle. It's your choice if you want to solo it or hope for people to join and help (good luck if it's a lapris) take it down.

I wasted 2 premium raid passes doing this.
You do have an hour though.

Once the egg cracks the pokémon raid boss stays there for an hour to be fought. You use your pass and you can fight, enter and leave as many times as you want during that timer.

But careful, it is not an hour since you use the pass, it is an hour since the egg opens and reveals the mon, if you get there when the timer is for example 18 mins, you will have only that 18 mins before the raid mon leaves and your pass too.

you have unlimited retries until the boss despawns or you beat it.
