contents We present magnetization and dilatometry measurements on the honeycomb cobaltate Na$_3$Co$_2$SbO$_6$ and map out its detailed field-temperature phase diagram down to sub-Kelvin temperatures. Our data for in-plane magnetic fields show a strongly anisotropic $c^{*}$-axis lattice response, which is dominated by the variation of Co--O--Co bond angles according to \textit{ab initio} calculations. At $T = 0.4$~K, the magnetization $M(B)$ exhibits step-like features that are also highly anisotropic. In the case of $B \parallel b$, a small hysteresis observed around the second field-induced magnetic transition ($B_{c2}$) indicates its first-order character, whereas divergence of the magnetic Grüneisen parameter at $B_{c2}$ is suppressed upon cooling and signals the absence of quantum critical behavior upon entering the field-polarized state. None of our thermodynamic measurements provide evidence for a field-induced quantum spin liquid state near or above $B_{c2}$.
