Hi Folks.. a New (for me) OTA popped up the other day. I attempted to have it done overnight as I sat fully charged, plugged in at 90% but in the morning I get the message that the OTA failed due to low battery. I attempted to force it under the same conductions this afternoon but I get the same error. It is 1 deg F out but I think that at 90% and being plugged in should be sufficient. Anyone have such an issue?
Thanks...

Annoyingly common, updates rely on the 12v battery and not the HVB. Charge the 12v by whatever means are at your disposal and try again.

Since you have a 23 I'm guessing the OTA is this one. Lots of folks with your issue (including me on the '22 version of the OTA). We eventually get it to install by charging the 12V. Those threads have lots of advice on how to do so.
