I can't download Monterey

I want to upgrade from Catalina 10.15.7 to Monterey. I'm using Safari 15.3 for my browser. I'm signed in on the App Store, I click "get" for Monterey. Software update window opens, says finding update. It never finds the update. What am I doing wrong?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
