It’s probably just downloading an update over and over and over again because it doesn’t know to stop.

That theory seems extremely likely to me! As soon as I read it, I thought "oh, yes that's exactly what happened".

Probably it automatically downloaded an unnecessary large update, it had enough storage space to finish the download, but then it started to decompress and install the update, at some point it ran out of usable space, so it started the whole loop over again, forever...
