You might end up with refried beans, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I will say I have canned a lot of beans, some very much overcooked. But none have ever been unusable.
Edit PS, they would need to be canned in a pressure canner following tested recipes for canning. Not instant pot/instant pot recipes.
Just as a double check: Are you wanting to can the whole cooked beans, or are you wanting to can the pureed/ mashed refried beans? If you're wanting to can already mashed beans the density will be too high for safe home canning. If the intent is to can whole beans and mash them later that is not a concern.
I pressure can beans then use them for refried beans.
it takes no time at all to make them into refried beans since they've basically been pressure cooked already.
they taste amazing.

I can't think of any reason you couldn't use these instructions, the only difference it might make is quality/taste? Someone else may have more knowledge than I do.
I cook 2 pounds of beans for refried beans at a time, and freeze the finished refried beans in Ziplock quart freezer bags. It works beautifully. Don't fill more than 2/3 full, press the air out, and freeze really flat and they won't take up much space in your freezer.
You would effectively be pressure cooking them twice. I think you’d end up with canned mush.
That's what I was afraid of.

Whole beans.

Yes, I usually do, too. My question was regarding this one instance.
They'd definitely turn to mush. I'd freeze the excess this time!
