As suggested by the error, you would be best advised to wait a few hours - and then try again.
If any of Apple's back-end servers are offline or unavailable due to a network routing issue, you may see this or similar errors. In such circumstances, your only option is to wait.
The only other course of action is to restart your iPad - this having no negative impact for your iPad, but may clear a local network connection issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.

Tried waiting couple of hours and meanwhile tried reset also. Nothing worked.
I will update the status after trying again
I’ve had the same issue and we have been trying since the new update was released. In my case it’s been days of waiting! Hope a solution is found.
I’ve had the same issue now for a week, reset, deleted the update then downloaded again. Nothing is working. Ios26.0.01 just says it’s unavailable and to try later. Meanwhile Apple Pay is playing up
