I am in the same boat. I purchased a 2020 Max Limited. The dealer took 350 off the price because I purchased it from a Chevrolet dealer. The truck was a rental which is more than likely why they only have one key. I did see that my extended warranty does come with a key replacement benefit.
Yea, my car was a lease/rental also. The other thing I noticed is the Auto Start/Stop has been disabled. Is always grayed out on the display. Maybe that's a good thing, though.

Also bought my 2020 max used; also had only one fob (but it did have the second physical key, which is weird). The dealer had me come back when his "key guy" visited, and it took him about 15 minutes to get me a second fob paired to the car. Fob is branded Ford, but I don't know if it's genuine. I did text a pic of my existing fob to the dealer ahead of time per their request.

No idea what the retail cost would be, but it should be easy to find a mobile car key service to get you a second fob.

My 18 max came the same way except the dealer never followed through on the new fob and I gave up hounding them down, lol.

If the Auto Start/Stop is grayed out, it probably is due to an old battery, unless the former owner added one type of Auto Start/Stop Eliminator, in which case try pushing the button on the dash to see if it might cause it to work again. However in my estimation, you are not missing out on much without it.

Last week I finally went to the dealership to get a second key fob since I took delivery with just one key since it was a rental. The dealer did give me $350 off the sticker and I had a key replacement warranty. With my key replacement warranty, I had a $250 deductible since I used it within the first 120 days. The total cost of the key being cut and new fob was $505. Once I got my second fob I was finally able to get my door code.
