System Updater:
Failed to download update An error occurred downloading the latest update. The update system will try again soon. The download will be resumed if its still the latest version. https://releases.grapheneos.org/sunfish-incremental-2023100100-2023100300.zip

Getting this update error for more than a week now, whenever the OS checks for update. Tried asking in the matrix channels and reddit but got no response.

Is this occurring due to Google dropping updates for the 4a 4G? Please clarify.

paul-sneed The Pixel 4a is currently on extended support, so you be able to download and install any updates normally.

If you continue to have issues, you can sideload the latest release. Instructions are given here: https://grapheneos.org/usage#updates-sideloading.

Try using a different network? Maybe Wi-Fi at a library?

I had this issue with my P6 last year. Side loading the update was the fix and didn't have any problems with auto updates after that.

Sideloading an OTA image is a little complicated but should be safe and has a high likelihood of working in this situation. If you don't have easy access to a different network, or if that doesn't work, sideloading is a reasonable next step.
