iPad update (restore OS) fails

Running the latest macOS and tried to update iPad but the iPad reboots before software extraction completes. Restarting into recovery mode only makes me start over again. If I let it run its errors out stating:


The iPad "iPad" could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (2015).

Any recommendations?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15
