Is the email saying I need to agree to new service agreement by May 7th legit??
It says the following. I reported it as spam, to abuse@comcast.net
We emailed you last month to let you know about changes we are making to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. These changes are key steps towards creating what's next for our consumers, like you, while empowering them with transparency and controls over how and when their data is used.
In order to continue to access your Mailbox after April 30th 2025, you will need to Confirm you accept the Terms of Service.

Such messages are almost always phishing/fraud. "Click here or lose your email" is a scammer classic. Comcast/Xfinity does not ask us to "Confirm you accept the Terms of Service" with one days notice. This message is most likely an attempt to steal your login and financial information.
If you check your email with Comcast's Xfinity Connect webmail (https://connect.xfinity.com/), look for the XFINITY Verified Email logo next to any message that claims to be from Comcast/Xfinity. Note that anyone can insert an XFINITY Verified image in the body of an email, so it's important to note not only the presence of that image, but that it is in the correct locations:
See https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/comcast-verified-email for examples of valid logo placement. A logo in the body of the email does not count.
Unfortunately, AFAIK the logo is not present when you view one of their messages in an email app or program. It's only visible when you use their web email site.
Samples of recent phishing messages can be found at https://spa.xfinity.com/alerts under "Top Phishing Scams".
