I love utility libraries. In all my various jobs I was always one of those creating utility libraries.
Anyhow I created 2 simple utility methods
static Task Delay(TimeSpan delay, CancellationToken token) { }
static Task<T> WithTimeout<T>(this Task<T> task, TimeSpan delay, CancellationToken token)
{
}
All overloads all together are about less than 100 lines of code and the code is quite simple as I would say.
Nonetheless I had memory leaks and performance issue hidden in those few lines during 5 working days non stop despite scrutinising them, tweaking them, rewriting them....
I mean how many bugs can you find in but a few lines?
The answer: quite a lot!   
Am I getting old or something?!  
Anyhow the remaining 15,000 lines of code seems fine!

Hmmmm ... What's "quite a lot" * 150?

Maybe like 5 code fix... But everyday I realise I made a mistake in my previous fix! 
The latest fix: I created useless TaskCompletionSource and it had dangling completion callback on it, causing memory leak... Tricky!

In my work day I spend 30% on planing and designing, 30% on tutoring and meeting, 20% writing new code, 10% fixing bug and 10% creating new bugs...
I always say that the bugs of today are the bread and butter of tomorrow...

What's wrong with the built-in Task.Delay method[^]?

As much as I hate to walk up to my computer in the morning and find out it's been rebooted because Windows decided to install some updates that triggered a reboot, at least that doesn't happen nearly as much as Android seems to wait for me to start using my tablet to download updates, slowing it down to the point of making it unusable. That seems to be the case every time I reach for it and pick it up.
I never explicitly turn off my tablet - the screen eventually turns off on its own, and tapping it brings it back to life immediately, so I know it--at least--has NOT done a full shutdown. So why can't it use the time when it knows I'm away from it to update itself rather than wait for me to start using it, which seems totally backwards...
I have at least 3 Android tablets, ranging from 4.3 to 6.0, that get some regular use. And they all do that.

I just walked to my computer and pulled a new part it had printed overnight out of the 3D printer. If I had found a ruined half printed part instead, I would probably already be thinking about a replacement. Not that I would ever even think of installing Win 10 for this and other reasons.
And yeah, all my problems can be fixed. Sure, but why get something that requires so many 'fixes' in the first place?

In my Androids (phone and tablet) WiFi goes sleeping with the screen, so no network connection to use... That can be configured, so you may try it...

I suspect it has probably got something to do with not wanting to drain the battery without user noticing. If you ever notice the battery drain during these updates you'll see that it is too much. But then this reasoning would mean that the phone should update if/when connected to the charger whether or not the screen is on, I wouldn't know the answer I never hooked up my phone for that long.
But if you are really tired of these updates you could just turn auto update off from PlayStore app or keep your phone's battery below 30.

My tablets are wired in and being charged pretty much constantly, except for what little time I spend actually using them.

Hmm... Seems like they don't want to update in in-active hours. You could make a suggestion on Gogle Products Platform or make a bit of a mess and publicly call them out on Twitter.

If I was the type to complain at Google, the first thing I'd suggest would be to get the hardware OEMs to push out their OS upgrades. None of my tablets have ever had a single one of them.
That's the only reason I have multiple Android tablets to begin with. And I'm done playing their game.
