I had to allow the computer to update over my mobile hotspot.
Chromebook connected to cellular network:
If your Chromebook is connected to a cellular network, it won’t update. This is because you usually have a limited amount of data on cellular networks, and going over your limit is expensive. So, rather than waste precious (expensive) data on a firmware update, the Chromebook blocks updates until you connect to a WiFi or ethernet network.
If you absolutely can’t connect to a WiFi or ethernet network, then there’s a way to force an update on a cellular network.
