I think Tesla may have turned the checking frequency down, it's been several updates since it was checking daily for me. Many reboots and it checks after a reboot but goes back to not checking daily.

Looks like after doing bug tests on yoiur car they now rolled it out to mine -
.. installing as I write this The only time software update check works is when it's rebooted, the date/time of the check changes when the car is rebooted
and it looks like it's phoning home to check. if i try manually it does not do anything and date/time of the check does not change
I tried power off/on

I guess something to do with MCU age... too much of fragmented artefacts hanging around.
probably some board is old enough to need replacement... older Tesla (2020 and before) were more prone to it.
For me it happened a couple of updates before 26.8. How long has the longest period you gone without rebooting to force a check? I have a feeling its deliberate by Tesla and the software check has been turned down to weekly. Trying to see how long it goes without checking but keep having to reboot for some reason (eg bluetooth wouldn't connect this morning)

Thats why it's my weekly and monthly task to reset... scroll wheel reset every sunday, wheel change reset every 1st day of month...
Checking on TeslaFi it doesn't appear that there is a an update to download, as of today, I also suspect that this would be a 2 step process to manage load on the firmware servers I understand there is already throttling applied based on vehicle config. I got 2023.26.8 on Thursday and it says it up to date as of 18th, not that it hasn't checked. I used to toggle the Standard/Advanced setting and that sometimes made a difference. I don't habitually reboot and have only found it useful with Apple Music not reconnecting.
Taping on software the car used to check for updates as many times as you liked
and depending if you were the chosen one and you’d said enough hail Elon’s you might have an update
Tesla then introduced 24 hour time limit meaning the car wouldn’t check unless 24 hours had passed since your last check.
Now I’m not sure what’s happening for me,it only checks if I reboot and it’s been like that since a few updates ago
I tried Audietron wheel change which looks like it reboots the car
It did check for an update.

simple answer - you are on the naughty list of Elonta... do 20 SpaceMusk every day, and you might get to near to bottom of naughty list.
Once on naughty list - always on naughty list - unless buy another car from Elonta (that's what I did)

Thanks for sharing another trick here...
I wish Tesla had list of these reset someplace so users can do the needful when Tesla messed up.

Installed 2023.32.4 on Saturday; apparently a bugfix / minor improvement release. Cameras seem clearer to me.
Also the touchscreen stopped responding to touch on the way to work this morning (Nav display, speed etc still worked though along with steering wheel controls). Ok after a reboot. Hopefully just a coincidence.
