Make clear that I'm not certain that decay channel exists, also remove beyond SM tag since I'm specifically interested in the SM.

The electro-weak force is known to contain a chiral anomaly that breaks $B+L$ conservation. In other words, it allows for the sum of baryons and leptons to change, but still conserves the difference between the two. This means that the standard model hascould have a channel for protons to decay, for example into a pion and a positron. Does anyone know what the total proton decay rate through standard model channels is?

Standard Model Proton Decay Rate

The electro-weak force is known to contain a chiral anomaly that breaks $B+L$ conservation. In other words, it allows for the sum of baryons and leptons to change, but still conserves the difference between the two. This means that the standard model has a channel for protons to decay, for example into a pion and a positron. Does anyone know what the total proton decay rate through standard model channels is?
