On Xbox One and Series S/X you can turn on sleep mode, which uses far more energy but makes sure the console never goes without an update. I'm like you, I can go long periods without opening it and this mode keeps my system always up-to-date.

Deep sleep with updates seems to keep the system updated - it’s the games that apparently wait until you want to play.
