        @chickendog ignore my previous post. I did have a failure from the cli, but it seems to have resolved.
        Now I have this weirdness:

        23.05-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
        built on Mon Jan 09 06:04:59 UTC 2023
        FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT

        The system is on a later version than official release.
        Version information updated at Mon Jan 9 8:19:14 EST 2023

          @mtarbox Yeah I didn't try update, seemed too scary to go from 23.01 Beta to 23.05 Alpha.
          Was scared a dev committed the wrong thing accidentally 😬

              Is 20230109-0600 the RC release? My pfsense update page is still showing 23.01.b.20230106.0600 as the latest dev

                The branch only just happened so at this point 23.05a is almost identical to 23.01. BUT you don't want to be on that branch because downgrading is far more difficult so I would wait until you see 23.01r (RC) offered. Which should be shortly.

                (If you are running ZFS of course you can just roll back the BE)

                    @stephenw10 well of course I jumped on that sword.
                    Everything seemed fine when I left the house this morning, and I haven't had any angry texts yet today.

                      Upgrade was uneventful.

                          @tedquade rolled it back, THANK GOODNESS FOR ZFS, rebooted to 23.01.b, and voila, there was the RC, all nice and shiny. Gave it the old cli razzle-dazzle, reboot, and after acknowledging things, all was good in my world. Also deleted the 23.05 environment.

                              The dev branch on my pfsense still only shows 23.01.b.20230106.0600 available. No RC

                                If you're running 22.05 that's what it will show. Once you upgrade to that you will see RC available.

                                    Updated this morning and everything looks to have gone well after a few reboots and reloads to make pfblocker happy.

                                    However, I noticed that I no longer have any selections for Branch
                                    9a5148fb-195b-4cff-a32e-f4f029a9a2c9-image.png

                                    I was also expecting to now see an RC option but do not see that.

                                      Most likely your NDI changed from that originally registered. Did you change the hardware?

                                        Nope same exact hardware no changes. Was setup about a week and a half ago updated to plus and was waiting for the RC so I did the update this morning with no changes to hardware.

                                        I can provide my ID if needed.

                                          Yes, PM me your NDI so I can check it.

                                            On Netgate 1100 upgrade from 22.05 to 23.01 didn't go well. After changing the update branch to Latest Development Snapshots, 23.01.b.20230106.0600 was offered and accepted. Gui showed the following errors early on, but other than that, upgrade seemed to go through:

                                            Checking update version failed, so before recovering back to 22.05 there was no harm in trying these commands mentioned earlier in this thread:

                                            [22.05-RELEASE][root@plusdev-3.stevew.lan]/usr/local/libexec: rm /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/pfSense.conf 
                                            [22.05-RELEASE][root@plusdev-3.stevew.lan]/usr/local/libexec: ln /usr/local/share/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense-repo-devel.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/pfSense.conf
                                            

                                            After that update indicated that 23.01.r.20230108.1514 was available and that went through to 23.01-RC without errors.
