Big Sur 11.5 : Download failed . Please check your internet connection and try again. I continue to receive the following statement when trying to update to Big Sur 11.5 : Download failed . An error occurred while downloading the selected updates. Please check your internet connection and try again. There seems to be no problem with internet. What are some options?

macOS Big Sur Update Failing I have a MacBook Pro 16” that was bought in 2020 and I am trying to install the Big Sur update. However each time I have tried to install it it fails with 9 minutes left and pops up with a non descriptive error telling me to try again. Any idea what might be wrong or what I can do to fix it? I have tried the command+R restart trick but it's still happening.
