What is the problem?
Using the OctoPriint GUI it notifies that there is an update, I select to proceed with the update and it fails.
What did you already try to solve it?
Rebooting, restarting OctoPrint Server.
Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, octoprint.log, serial.log or output on terminal tab, ...)

Updating, please wait.

Hi, this also happened to me, 3 times. Could not solve it.

Here are some things to try.

Basically, it might be network issues or compression issues.

Considering this:

My money would be on the checkout having become corrupt. Reinstalling is probably easier than trying to repair that. Settings and data will persist.

Cause of corruption can be power loss in the wrong moment (never just pull power from a Pi, always power it down first) or file system corruption. Not much that OctoPrint can do about that, other than switching away from git based updates, which was done with 1.3.6 for this very reason.
