Lassing macOS Update:


A. Wait it Out:

How long has it been? It may take some time, especially if connected to a public LAN (i.e.hotel or campground)


B. Turn Off ALL VPNs:

Are you connected to a VPN? If so, turn it off. Unless required for school or work, delete the VPN. VPNs can get in the wat on a Mac, and have a common reputation of doing so.


C. Update the Ethernet:

Are you connected using WiFi? Do you have access to Ethernet? You'll need an adapter, such as this one to get it to connect to Ethernet: Belkin USB-C to 2.5Gb Ethernet Adapter - Apple Support

Timespan Grented for macOS Updates and Upgrades:

As for timespan of granting macOS updates and upgrades, Apple has a tendency and reputation of providing them for 6 or 7 years for a device, then stops providing them. Silicon Macs were released on 2020 and beyond. So, as an example, for a 2020 device, macOS updates and upgrades with discontinue with Tahoe or the next macOS version.
