I am having issues upgrading freebsd from 13.0-RC1 to 13.0-RC2

I have used this command
freebsd-update upgrade -r 13.0-RC2

is it possible to upgrade?

13.0-RC2 is available
 
Well, considering RC3 is currently planned for next week and RC2 got released today; you'll have to wait until next week for RC3 (if there is going to be a RC3, the devs could just start making -RELEASE early and not do another release candidate).
 
Hi, I just tried it and got similar results.
Code: 
fetching metadata signature for 13.0-RC2-from update4.freebsd.org failed

(Same for other update servers. Maybe it's just not ready yet at nearby update servers?)

it is possible, I will wait till all update servers are updated.
 
It's in the handbook here: https://docs.freebsd.org/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

Just the section about "updating the source" is out of date, cause this works with git now. For starters:
Code: 
cd /usr/src
rm -fr * .*
git clone https://git.freebsd.org/src.git .
git checkout releng/13.0
This will give you a FULL clone.

You can later update (to -RC3, -RELEASE, the latest patchlevel ...) with
Code: 
cd /usr/src
git pull

But if you never did it, follow RELEASE versions and don't feel like you want to customize your build, it's probably not worth the effort.
