        @DefenderLLC Yeah .... this time I applied the finger in the nose strategy :

        I hit 'update' without any precautions.
        That is, without :
        Exporting the current config.
        Creating a ZFS snapshot
        I didn't check if I has a USB drive with the soon to be 'old' 23.05
        I didn't do the "stop - power down- start and check" test cycle.
        I didn't remove all packages before upgrading.
        I didn't check the main logs for current 'strange' behavior'.
        I didn't check if there where others users using the connection.
        I didn't check space left on my drives.
        I didn't check my UPS battery state.
        Etc. The common sense list is rather long.

        I perfectly did the " I do not read the documentation", I didn't apply the "do this before you upgrade 'list'".
        I was doing the perfect average 'kevin' that 'clicks' and assumes the consequences afterwards.

        Well ... it was a perfect upgrade, I went from the latest "23.05.1 RC" to "23.05.1" in a minute or so.

        True : I had a "23.05" ZFS snapshot waiting for me, from last week, so I could have found a stable situation with a second click.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          Hey All,

          So I noticed the 23.09 repo returned to my update page, but when I flipped it back to 23.05.1, the widget is now presenting me with a new upgrade; however, is does not appear on the actual upgrade page. I assume this is the same version I am on now as I did not actually upgrade anything. Just a couple flips the repos. All system patches were already applied. is this just a bug?

            Yes, there is an upstream bug in the data returned by pkg. Switching to 23.09 will have pulled in the new version which has it.
            If you need to stay on 23.05.1 I would force reinstall pkg back to version in the 23.05.1 repo. Otherwise is should be fixed in the 23.09 version shortly.

                Make sure the update repo is set to 23.05.1 then run:
                pkg-static install -fy pkg

                      I had same problem. Firewall is on version 23.05.1-release.

                      Firmware Branch also set to "Latest Stable Version (23.05.1)"

                      When I run the command "Shell Output - pkg-static install -fy pkg" from Diagnostics\Command prompt then it is giving following error:-

                        That's not the same error. 'Bad request' like that means it's sending an invalid client certificate.

                        Try running at the CLI: pfSense-repoc what error does it return (if any)?

                            What or how did you stop that ?
                            AFAIK, pfSense doesn't auto upgrade.

                              I have selected the "latest Stable Release (2.7.0) in Branch and Check mark the option "Disable the deshboard auto-upgrade Check" under System\Update\Update Setting.

                                @barindervicky89 That could be phrased better, it actually means “auto Dashboard update check”
