I replaced my lower level Aid with a higher level Aid, and I have less than 5 HP…Did I just die?

For reference: Does casting Aid stack? (No), What happens to the current hit points when Aid ends? (You lose the current hit points that you gained, effectively taking 5 damage).
My question is, if I have a level 2 Aid spell that gave me 5 current and maximum hit points, drop to 4 HP, and then have a level 3 Aid spell cast on me, what happens?
I see a few possibilities:
- I return the 5 HP I gained from my Level 2 Aid, drop to 0 HP (and start dying), and then the level 3 Aid spell brings me back to 10 HP with no delay.
- My current Aid spell is simply swapped out with the level 3 Aid spell, so the circumstances simply change to being granted 5 current HP to 10 current HP. Since I'm still due 5 HP, my current HP goes up by that value (now at 9) and I and never touched the Dying condition.
- Another possibility that you can explain.
Which is true?

When the duration multiple spells of the same name overlap, you use the effect of the most potent:
The effects of the same spell cast multiple times don't combine, however. Instead, the most potent effect—such as the highest bonus—from those castings applies while their durations overlap.
PHB 205 or https://www.dndbeyond.com/compendium/rules/basic-rules/spellcasting#CombiningMagicalEffects
So, the first casting getes suppressed and replaced by the second casting. Never does the first spell stop, unless or until, the spell ends -- but its effect is replaced with the more powerful spell effect. Which would be your option "#2".

Do you happen to have a page number or book for the quote you provided? I've seen it before, but I just want it for reference.

I copied it out of the SRD, but I know it is also in the PHB. In the SRD, it is under the heading "Combining Magical Effects" in the chapter on Spell Casting. dndbeyond.com/compendium/rules/basic-rules/…
