I have carried out the Android 13 update to my S21 Ultra. Currently running cerion G998BXXS5DVK1. Since the update, my phone keeps crashing and locking up. I have to reset (power and volume down button) the phone each time each time to get it working again. This happens several times a day since the update. 

Is there a fix for this or way to downgrade the OS back to a stable version?

Try updating all apps from Play Store and Galaxy Store then wiping cache partition to seeing anything changes.

Clearing cache might help and make sure your apps are updated as well

I haven't even seen the update yet for my S21Ultra. Been checking for updates as well but nothing.

Reboot to the Maintenance (Recovery) screen

Select the Clear Cache Partition option

Next, select the Repair Apps option

... it will automagically reboot back ... give it 2-3 to finish up

I cleared the cache partition as suggested and it now seems stable again with no crashes or lock ups
