Just as a heads-up that if those previous two patches caused you some strain, keep an eye tomorrow:
https://blog.activision.com/call-of-duty/2020-03/Introducing-a-game-changing-FREE-TO-PLAY-experience-Call-of-Duty-Warzone

A one-time early access will give Modern Warfare owners the ability to download Warzone at 8AM PDT. *For Modern Warfare owners who are current and have the most recent title updates, the download will be a 18-22GB*. Once download is complete, Modern Warfare owners will “unlock” the Warzone panel, which was previously classified, and can enter the lobby and play.

For non-owners of the full version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Warzone will be available to download free in respective first-party stores starting as early as 12 PM PDT. Head to the store and search for ‘Warzone.’ Choose Call of Duty: Warzone to download. *Warzone is a 83-101GB download for new, free-to-play users*.

Saying that the consoles should or should not be doing a thing is simply trying to throw the problem to someone else.

says two-digit standby power (which they say is needed for background updating).  At least in Germany, nobody sane will leave the thing in that expensive mode (a watt-year is $3 here).  Switchable extension power cords are being actively marketed here for these power hogs.
