Stuck on Preparing macOS Big Sur 11.1 Update

I'm currently running MacOS Big Sur 11.0.1 on a MacBook Pro 16in and I'm trying to update to version 11.1 but I have been stuck on "Preparing macOS Big Sur 11.1 Update..." "About 10 minutes remaining" for a few hours. I have tried restarting my MacBook Pro multiple times but I keep running into the same problem. Please help!!
I'm having the same issue. Loading the update since last evening, it still says "about 10 minutes remaining."
Same situation here.

Same Problem here. Left my mac on overnight still hanging on Preparing 10m
Same problem here on a 13 inch Intel Macbook Pro 2020. com.apple.MobileSoftwareUpdate.UpdateBrainService high on CPU all the time! Does anyone know a solution or work around?
Same as me!

Same here.

Looks like com.apple.MobileSoftwareUpdate.UpdateBrainService runs at over 100% CPU, until you kill it or reboot. Oh, the irony of that name!
Unfortunately, same here too.
Is there any update to this thread from Apple?
I am still facing this issue
I'm having the same issue and also let it run overnight - no change from "about 10 minutes remaining."
Exact the same problem here but with an MacBook Air 2019.
I had the same issue. I restarted the MacBook in safe mode (press and hold the Shift key while it boots) and I was able to perform the update. I hope this will work for you.
Same Issue here, on a MBP 2018. "About 10 minutes remaining" over 24 hours.
I have the same exact issue with my MacBook air.
I have exactly the same issue - I've been experiencing this for two days, now I give up - this update is a shit.
I am having the same issue on a 2018 MBP
For me it stops at some point declaring the "download" failed (though it's already done downloading). System logs contain the message "BridgeOS personalization failed."
Same Issue on MacBook Pro - Mid 2015 w/ macOS Big Sur 11.0.1
Turned off auto downloads, all check boxes.

Will wait for next update.
same issue here
