TPB4 is the last Android 13 beta (Beta 4). They are no longer listed on the website because Android 13 went stable in August. What exactly are you trying to do?
Follow the guide in the OP.
i can't extract boot.img because i can't find the ota image to download for TPB4 build number
Update to a newer build. You are on a very old build. And after you do, extract the boot.img from the factory image, not the OTA image (although you can but that's more complicated).
Tpb4 is dead, as said above it was 13 beta.
There is only one image for the november patch not (as i think you're trying to say) various downloads for different carrier/region

Updated May 13, 2023
Note that more than three users have said that 34.0.1 (even May 10, 2023's binary update of 34.0.1) did not work correctly for them. I recommend sticking with 33.0.3 (just below these quotes)
Someone reported it to Google (added a comment about 34.0.1 to the existing 34.0.0 report).

Regarding Developer Support Android 12 images, see @Lughnasadh's post here.
I am not linking directly to the Developer Support Android 12 images because I don't want them to be confused with Stable Android 12, and since the Developer Support images won't receive any OTAs...ever. They likely also will never be manually updated on the Developer Support images site, so they will forever be stuck with the security patch level they're currently on, which will become further out of date every month. You can Google searchDeveloper Support Android imagesif you want to find them.
TL;DR regarding the PSA. If you update one slot to Android 13, you canfastboot reboot bootloaderafter and thenfastboot --set-active=otherto change slots in order to flash Android 13 to the new slot, but IF you have Android 13 on one slot and still have Android 12 (including Android 12 bootloader) on the other slot and you try to fully boot into Android 12, you will be permanently bricked and have to seek repair from Google. No one has yet found a way to repair this on our own. I will update if there is any progress. At least a small handful, and probably more, people have done this already.
At a minimum, do this first:fastboot flash bootloader --slot all bootloader-devicename-slider-1.2-3456789.img(change the name of the bootloader file to the one for your device), then you *should* be much safer than without doing that first. Also note that the bootloader is NOT the same as boot.img (kernel). The bootloader image file has "bootloader" in the filename.
IF you have already bricked your phone and the screen is blank - there is likely nothing we can do to help. You should seek to get a repair from Google, possibly under warranty.
You CANNOT go back to Android 12 Stable. It *seems* as if you can, but Android 12 will not work 100% correctly after updating to the Android 13 bootloader.
My tiny, early, very mini-review of Android 13 is here.
Here there be dragons.
I am not responsible for anything at all. 
Check warranty status - *may* reveal if a phone is refurbished, only if the phone was refurbished through Google - thanks to @Alekos for making me aware of the site.
Official Google Pixel Update and Software Repair(reported as of January 23, 2022 to still not be updated for the Pixel 6/Pro yet)
Google's Help Page for Find problem apps by rebooting to safe mode - this can be a lifesaver and keep you from having to do a restore to 100% complete stock or even from having to do a factory reset. This will deactivate all Magisk modules, and they'll remain deactivated even after you boot normally after briefly booting to safe mode. You can reenable the Magisk modules as you wish to try to narrow down the problem if it was caused by a Magisk module. This can even get things working again after a Magisk Module wasn't finished installing and potentially causing a bootloop.

How I root and update (which is identical whether rooting the first time or updating):
1515The unlock process works like this;
1) Take brand new fresh phone out of box. Do NOT put sim card in it, just power it on.
2) When it starts harassing you to join google, hit "skip" and "remind me tomorrow" as applicable until you reach home screen. YOU DO NOT need to plug in a google account.
3) Settings --> About --> Build number. Tap it until it says you're a developer.
4) Back --> Network --> Wifi and connect it.
5) Back --> System --> Developer --> OEM unlocking (check), USB debugging (check), plug in USB, authorize when requested.
6) # adb reboot-bootloader
7) # fastboot flashing unlock
Now that you've unlocked it, it has been wiped, so repeat 1-4, then disable all the google spyware, and go ahead and start using it while waiting for aosp and root.13Just to let everyone know, updating to .037 and re-rooting (without wiping anything) worked with no problems. My method is to just replace -w with --disable-verity --disable-verification in the flash-all.bat file and run the flash-all command. I then let it reboot, patch the boot image, return to bootloader and flash the patched boot image.

EDIT: Thank you @ipdev for confirming my inquiry that this method would work back on Nov. 4

Used a factory image and booted into Android 13. Auto OTA and a sideload of the full OTA will end in the same result as both useupdate_engine. I did boot into Android 13 so the ARB counter did get incremented.
Downgraded by just forcing Android 12 system image with a wipe, switched slots, and did it again. It might be able to be done with a full OTA, but I didn't test it because of the following issue:
Android 12 doesn't work properly on the Android 13 bootloader.
It boots up just fine, appears to work just fine, made and received calls and texts, however the issue @bush911 had with WebView crashing is true. It's more than just WebView, the media DRM APEX immediately crashes. WebView crashes sometime after launch when it tries to find out if ClearPlay or WideVine are functional, and DRM Info crashes immediately when I try to launch it. Without DRM working that means you won't be able to play some music or movies and won't be able to use Netflix or any other streaming app.
There might be more systems or modules nonfunctional, but without working browsers your smartphone isn't going to be more useful than a dumbphone.
@roirraW "edor" ehT
So I guess it's time to retract that you can revert to Android 12, because until a modder comes along to cook up a custom Android 12 ROM with Android 13 APEXs or patched ones it won't work.
