Solved Unable to update FreeBSD on an RPi 3B

Ran into a problem with pkg upgrades on my arm64/RPi 3B. It is currently running 13.2p6, but the problems started in the past few weeks, call it since p4. Upgrades have been failing. I normally do a freebsd-update fetch install, reboot (if the base system was updated), then do a pkg update and pkg upgrade. Lately, when I do it, I get the following:
Code: 
[root@koraga ~]# pkg update
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
Fetching meta.conf: 100%    163 B   0.2kB/s    00:01   
Fetching packagesite.pkg: 100%    7 MiB   7.0MB/s    00:01   
pkg: Error extracting the archive: 'Write error'
pkg: No signature found
Unable to update repository FreeBSD
Error updating repositories!
The Pi had pkg 1.2-.7. I tried a pkg update -f and still got the same result, and pkg bootstrap -f installed pkg 1.20.9, but doing pkg update -f still fails with the same write error.

My FreeBSD.conf looks like:
Code: 
[root@koraga ~]# cat /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
FreeBSD: {
   url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest"
}

Any idea why this box won't update or upgrade? Is it something on my system (being a write error) or is it upstream?

Thanks,

if I remember well, only Tier 1 supports freebsd-update

Update:
Sorry, my mistake.
If you have arm64/RPi 3B, FreeBSD 13.x in Tier 1.
