Recently promoted senior and the raise was surprisingly higher than expected. I had applied to a position before knowing about the promotion and raise. I don’t think the position will be able to match the new raise since I was promoted early (new job level is based on years of experience rather than title). Should I politely bow out? Not sure how to handle the situation, any advice is much appreciated!

You can bow out. If you're leaving for reasons other than comp, it's something to think about. And if you already accepted the offer, you need to know they won't consider your resume again for a few years (if ever)

It is absolutely ok to say “sorry the salary does not meet my expectations” if what they offer ends up lower than your current package.
