The OpenWrt ASU server is currently broken. You can use an alternate server, say https://sysupgrade.guerra24.net, until https://sysupgrade.openwrt.org is restarted.

This will use the guerra24 server until you reboot, at which point it will reset to the openwrt one (there's no uci commit, so the server change not persistent).

uci set attendedsysupgrade.server.url="https://sysupgrade.guerra24.net"

ERROR: Build failed with status 502 (--version-to 25.12.0-rc4 --device x86/64:generic:ext4)
The above errors are often due to the upgrade server lagging behind the
build server, first suggestion is to wait a while and try again.

Just like last time you tried to upgrade to an unannounced release. RC4 isn't out, have fun banging your head against the wall, again.
