Perhaps it is caused by mega-20191119. The releases during that time period had WiFi issues.

But be mindful that your old version is a [TESTING] branch with 79 plugins. The new version you have chosen is a [NORMAL] branch with 46 plugins. To safely switch branches I suggest serial flashing blank_4MB.bin before installing the new branch. All configurations will be lost, so be prepared to re-enter everything.

I've had similar issues, but only with a very specific setup.
From my Chromebook it was next to impossible to upgrade any ESP node via OTA if both the ESP and the Chromebook were connected to the same access point.
Switching to a computer connected to a cable and the update was working fine.
Tried it later with another ESP node and also updating from a newer build and the result was the same.
Upload stalled somewhere and thus the unit had to be manually rebooted and it booted the old firmware again.
