    I tried to update several times and always getting this error on the page

    @OP this is almost always a temporary issue with your web host or other internet hiccups, you can keep trying or come back later and try again

    function __extend_http_request_timeout( $timeout ) {
    return 60; // seconds
    }
    add_filter( 'http_request_timeout', '__extend_http_request_timeout' );

    I haven’t tried this, but an interesting hack from:

    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/curl-error-28-connection-timeout-after-10000-ms/

    add to your theme functions.php and reload the page, and try again?

    Most of the “update” type of problems in WP are just temporary.

    Try again after 20 minutes, or 1 hour.
