#Struggling to push iPad to newer iOS 17 Betas

So, me not thinking, I installed iPadOS 17 (Beta 1) on my iPad 8th Gen with 32GB Storage.
I can’t update to Beta 2 (and now Beta 3, screenshot is older) through traditional means, and last time I checked, I can’t update betas through my Mac either. (If there is a way, please let me know.)
What can I do? Restoring is not an option for reasons, and the System Data is causing such an unnecessary headache. Am I stuck on Beta 1 until Final Public release in September?

#

Extra note: Since Beta 3’s release, the 12GB required has gone up to 16GB, and it straight up is not possible to OTA update anymore. My System Data and Software chunks together take up more than 16 Gigs

One time I lowered my system data by more than half by offloading all my apps and re-downloading them. I’m not sure exactly what did it, but it worked

#

I recommend giving that a try

sometimes restarting it helps for some reason
