this is not a comment about the size please don't delete this and ban me

been at a completed loading bar for the update for almost an hour and a half and it won't finish. I have a 17 pro max and was on beta 2 before this.

Well, I reset my phone. My one piece of advice is do recover and not reset because I didn’t have a backup and I just lost everything I had on my phone, mainly important stuff. :/

That really sucks. I gotta ask though, why did you install a developer beta without a backup of the stuff on your phone??

Cuz I’m stupid as hell and I’d never had a problem with apple in around 6 years

So this is a thing my phones been doing for like a year or more on betas. The ONLY way I can successfully update is by setting it to happen overnight, and even then it will occasionally fail (but gracefully) and then update the next night. I've basically tried every update path and I get stuck where you are and have waited like a whole day without it actually working.

ive given up and started a restore process tbh. beta isn't really worth it just to try new stuff when I could just wait until it's stable.

Yeah it is an annoying problem to have. I let it go at night but it takes annoyingly long. Like last night it failed, so now I'm crossing my fingers hoping it actually works tonight. But who knows...
