stuck on preparing system update

It does take some time to prep.  When I took last update yesterday, it took a good 10 minutes to "prep".. Then it took quite a while downloading all the different parts.

10 minutes can feel like a really long time if you just sit there and look at it 🙂  Just wait.

If you give it plenty of time and it persists, then maybe try a hard reset.

that also depends on your speed. not saying you have slow speed lol 🙂

In some cases the longest part is not even the download itself.  It is the "Preparing system update" stage which is before the download starts.  This is a google thing.  Even many older pixel phones did the same.  Sometimes on Pixel phones to get them to "move on" you had to turn on airplane mode, let it fail, then disable airplane mode and try the update again.  Don't know what causes it, and not sure if it is the A/B update method, but you just need to be patient and eventually it works.

exactly, patient is the key. I maybe wrong but I think it goes through file/software integrity check which takes longer especially you have huge firmware & software together. 🙂
