JUST A REMINDER: 13.1 is the first Ventura update past the 30 day hold for OTA major upgrades for MDM managed macOS devices
If you have devices on 12.3-12.6 still and you DO NOT have a minor deferral in addition to a major deferral - on these buggy versions of macOS (12.6.1+ fixes the bug), 13.1 OTA will be seen as a -minor- update, not major and as such will NOT be deferred by only having a major deferral in place.

@mikeymikey Do you know this: Does an upgrade from let’s say 12.5 to 13.1 still require admin privileges? Most of my fleet are standard users, and the previous admin didn’t had a proper MDM to use (I‘m rolling that out now).

See top bullet point.
OTA upgrades to Ventura - supported by 12.3 and later - are smaller upgrades than a full app
There is in fact NO app. The update applies -just- like a regular point release.
And as such - no admin is required (just like on regular minor point releases). A -passcode- may be required on Apple silicon (M1/M2) - but no admin required
@mikeymikey interesting, thank you. I haven’t considered the OTA-part. So…fingers crossed. Any problems from now on are good excuses to check get the computer in for service and re-enroll into the new MDM I guess.
