Describe the bug
This has only happened when trying to upgrade from Monterey to Sonoma. Ventura to Sonoma works fine.
When running startosinstall the log file indicates that "could not get authorization..." and then indicates that a timeout has been reached. After reaching the same errors on several Monterey computers we pulled the requirement from all Monterey computers.
To Reproduce
If applicable, please provide the full command used when running the script.
Please describe how the script was run. [e.g. Standalone via Terminal, in Jamf Policy from the uploaded pkg, in Jamf policy from uploaded script only, via another MDM provider]
Erase-Install Version 35.0.pkg installed via Jamf policy and the Execute Command is "/Library/Management/erase-install/erase-install.sh --os 14 --update --reinstall --confirm"
Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
We had expected that the OS would upgrade to Sonoma like the Ventura computers do, but the Monterey computers have all failed with the above error.

Please supply the full command used, and if applicable, add full output from Terminal or from /var/log/erase-install.log. Don't post a partial log - I need the whole thing. Either upload the log as a file, or paste the output in a code block like this:

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.
We have confirmed that each of the failures have occurred on computers running:
macOS 11+ (All failures are on 12.x)
Command executed via Jamf as root
The file system on each failed macOS computer is verified as APFS
Each failed macOS computer has plenty of available space for an upgrade
Each user has a token, but is not an administrator on their computer
Could this be a known issue? (I know that I am late to the party, but I expected that this would work on a Monterey computer.)
Thank you in advance for any information
