Why is my update paused?

hello Axel, I am having the same issue. Below is a screenshot, is there a known reason for the update pausing and never resuming? Thank you for your reply

Make sure that your iPhone is setup to meet the following requirements before you attempt to update the iOS version over a Wi-Fi Network. Open Settings ➡️ General ➡️ Software Update: If there is an update available for your iPhone then it will be listed here. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and update your iPhone. 

• Your iPhone must have a fast Wi-Fi connection; you cannot update over cellular data or a cellular hotspot
• The iPhone can not be in Low Power mode
• The battery state of charge must be above 50%
• Your iPhone must have at least 6GB or more free storage space
• Your iPhone cannot be connected through VPN
• You should leave the phone plugged in until it finishes updating, both to assure that it remains above 50% and to keep Wi-Fi enabled (Wi-Fi turns off when the phone sleeps if not connected to power).

I have tried to install the iOS 15.3.1 update on my iPhone 12 - it gets stuck on Pause. I have read Axel’s bulleted criteria for ensuring a smooth installation. I meet all the criteria listed. What is causing the update to stall?

Will it be possible for you to post a screen shot of what you are seeing while attempting to update your iPhone? Thanks.
