Well, it worked fine for me just now in a newly updated 2.7 snapshot virtual machine. That machine should be pretty much the same as a current 23.01 machine.
Here is the output from the rules update run (I am in the US Eastern Time Zone):

Do you have the same Snort Rules file configured? Are you using
snortrules-snapshot-29200.tar.gz? -
@bmeeks Using snortrules-snapshot-31470.tar.gz

Very bad!!! Never use Snort 3 rules with Suricata. And never Snort 3 stuff on pfSense.
Change that to
snortrules-snapshot-29200.tar.gz, and your problem will go away.pfSense is not configured for Snort 3 stuff at all.. Snort on pfSense remains on the 2.9.x branch.
Look at this Help Text printed immediately under the line where you specify a Snort Rules file for download:
Enter the rules tarball filename (filename only, do not include the URL.) Example: snortrules-snapshot-29151.tar.gz DO NOT specify a Snort3 rules file! Snort3 rules are incompatible with Suricata and will break your installation! -
@bmeeks OK! Always used those...
Changed and update run fine. THX!

You just got lucky. Snort 3 stuff is not supported on pfSense.

@bmeeks My bad, never read the fineprint :(

At least it was an easy fix

@bmeeks True! This happens when one is "new" to pfsense.
