Latest version of macOS Ventura

In System Settings, I have the red bubble notification for "Software Update Available." I click on it and it takes me to Sonoma "Upgrade Now." I scroll to the bottom to "more information" thinking it will take me to a software upgrade for Ventura because that's the way it handled the upgrade to 13.6.1. But it only takes me to a Sonoma information page on Apple's website. It's almost like it's forcing me to upgrade to Sonoma and I'm not ready to do that yet. I just got done chatting with an Apple rep online and the rep insisted that there was a 13.6.2 available and I could find it in the App Store. I tried a search on the App Store and it came back with "No Results." Is there a 13.6.2 for Ventura? If so, I can't find or access it anywhere! I even tried rebooting my iMac and the red bubble is still there in system settings and there doesn't seem to be an upgrade to 13.6.2 for Ventura. Any help here?

Ah, ok. I saw iMac 2023 for 13.6.2, but I thought that just meant it came out in 2023 - lol! My iMac is a 2021 so I guess that explains it. Weird that I'm getting that red notification software update available bubble and can't reset it. So in my case, it IS for Sonoma, huh? Kind of irritating that it's almost like it's forcing me to upgrade to Sonoma if I want that to reset. Well, I like having System Settings in the Dock and it's convenient, but I'll just remove it from the dock for now. I'm really not ready to upgrade to Sonoma yet, but I was planning on doing so in December. Thanks for the answer - appreciate it!
