As the title suggests; I'm already on Monterey 12.4 but the Install macOS Monterey installer still downloads. I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't a 12+ GB file taking up space unnecessarily.

I tried searching for this but couldn't find much. Is this a (known) bug in macOS 12 or is there something I'm doing to cause this?

Are you on build 12F79? In any case, 12.5 will probably release in about 13 hours, so that may resolve this for you.
