I had about 14 this morning. I thought this was highly unusual. Something is up.

EDIT: most of them were the freedesktop.org thingys they embed in all the programs (if I even have this right) and also most my regular packages were updated. I'm not sure it there was a snafu or an overhaul, I have not tried researching yet and likely won't tonight. Let me know if you find anything out.

No, that is how package updates work. A single library could be updated and require packages to be rebuilt against that library.

The nature of flatpak means it is far more likely to have applications using different versions of dependencies.

Example:
Gnome 47 was released recently this will bring a lot of updates to gnome/gtk projects. Some applications will use the newer runtime/org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/47 others will be behind using runtime/org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/46

If you install flatpaks system wide and on a per user basis then you get a lot more duplication.

KDE Frameworks / Gear updates could cause the same spikes.

There are many reasons updates might seem to spike "higher than normal" but having more updates available is really only indicative of there being more updates available.

Nothing is wrong, keep calm and carry on.

I was along lines update flatpak to avoid problems (Prob should have said that.)
I check them all the time now since those few issues way back with flapaks causing issues.
Just see it as a good thing to do.

And Harvey as always thanks for your to the point explanations.
