I'm using a Ubuntu cloud image with cloud-init. How is it supposed to upgrade the system? Should it be automatically upgraded at startup or something?

It completely depends on what your cloud-init file contains. The one that is generated by PVE contains the following line:
Code:
package_upgrade: trueThis instructs the cloud-init to run OS dependent process to upgrade packages.
If you are using built-in cloudinit, you can examine it with:
Code:
qm cloudinit dump 102 userBlockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox
Running
qm cloudinit dump 102 user says that package_upgrade is set to true. However, if I reboot, the packages won't upgrade.Furthermore, Ubuntu 22.04 now delivers Kubernetes v1.26.0 while I need to run the v1.24.9. How can I downgrade it?
some things in cloud-init only work on first boot.
How to downgrade VM packages is something completely separate from PVE installation and configuration. Once you figure out the command sequence, you can add it to cloud-init.

That's my question: how can I edit the cloud-init file generated by Proxmox in order to run my command sequence?
You cant.
Anything beyond what is offered in GUI requires you to use cicustom and provide a full desired cloud-init file.
"man qm" for more information.
