Updating to Monterey 12.6.1- Your disk does not have enough free space!!!

Hello Community, I have 53.79GB available of 250.79GB Macintosh HD storage. I want to update to the latest macOS Monterey 12.6.1. Yet it keeps returning 'Your disk does not have enough free space Updating requires 20.71GB of disk space'


Why this bottleneck if I have more than double the available disk space on my Mac?


It is quite annoying because I had do delete a lot of files and folders from my system to increase from 41GB to 53.79GB
