Let’s say you have an unbreakable box or bottle. Maybe it was completely coated in Sovereign Glue. Regardless, it’s unbreakable. What happens if you Polymorph, say, a red dragon into a mouse, drop it in the bottle, and let Polymorph wear off? The creature should return to its normal size when the spell wears off, but theres not enough room in to bottle for it so work. This goes for any spell that decreases size in any way.
...but that would just be my ruling because (as a wise person once stated): "Sod it. It's fun!"

Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.
The box becomes heavy and very very hot as its "contents" are forcibly fused into heavier elements to take up less space. The box and everything within a mile of it takes 20d10 fire damage as it produces as much heat as a piece of the sun.
Congratulations young Wizard, you discovered weaponized nuclear fusion.
But that is just a realistic science answer. The game mechanics magic answer is that it probably gets pushed out of (through?) the box and takes damage. There are no rules for this specific circumstance.
I think pretty much every example in spells of suddenly not being able to take up the space you currently find yourself in shunts you out to the nearest place you can occupy and you take damage for each foot or 5 feet or whatever that you moved. So I would go with that.

Ever see those Mentos + Diet Coke videos? 🤢🤮

There are no rules for that situation. DM's choice.
Personally I'd say the creature takes 1d10 force damage as they're shunted out of the bottle to the nearest free space that can accommodate it.
Or treat it like meld into stone. If something happens that ejects you, you take 6d6 bludgeoning (or force) damage.
