I have a pair of firewalls that I just updated from 25.7.2 to 25.7.5. As usual, I updated the backup firewall first. After it rebooted I updated the primary firewall. After it rebooted I expected the primary firewall to become CARP master, but it didn't. I then tried temporarily disabling CARP on the backup firewall, but it just generated an error "200". I got the same error trying to enter it into CARP maintenance mode.

I suppose I could just reboot the backup firewall, but I'd prefer to know what's not working properly. How to troubleshoot this further?

edit: after a few minutes the primary resumed master role. I guess more patience is all I needed in this case.
