I had a call with our direct support and F5 for the same problem. They have a strange maintenance date, you can follow Amy's suggestion or wait the new one version. I'm using different version, in 3 Big-IP different cluster: 11.6.1 - 12.1.0 and 13.0.0.

 

It depend also which module and license you are using. I updated some devices to new version to download and use last signature WAF.

Thanks jmusci, I prefer the 13.1.0 to 13.0.0 version because the 13.1.0 takes like 4 years before another firmware upgrade is requested for while the 13.0.0 will only last for just one year. I believe that by now the F% support should have been more specific about when 13.1.0 firmware version will be released, we shall see.
