Got software update notification macOS Big Sur Will someone in IT/Systems see this post...I hope so? I've been getting a software update notification from Apple saying "macOS Big Sur is available and will be installed later tonight"...it's been displaying this message for approximately 4 days now. I am concerned because I already have macOS Big Sur 11.2. Looking at the details of this update, it's Not an 11.3 version. I don't think I should be getting this notification...please advise?

Dear Apple: Why does my 2013 MacBook Pro show notifications for (impossible) software upgrade to macOS Monterey? I have a very frustrating situation. My 2013 MacBook Pro retina repeatedly shows an "upgrade" notification for Monterey MacOS - which is impossible, because the limit for my machine is Big Sur. I'd have to ditch my computer and buy a new one to do the upgrade. Originally I considered this a harmless glitch but now many months later I still see it so it really irks. As my screenshots show it will even occasionally let you click through to the app store page for the OS upgrade. It's probably a bug related to other software downloads being made available but it's very annoying.
