It's not a second auto update. It's %100 documented in the software and you can %100 throttle it. Channel files are heavily discussed when you roll out CS.

Might want to let crowdstrike know.

Rapid Response Content Deployment

Implement a staggered deployment strategy for Rapid Response Content in which updates are gradually deployed to larger portions of the sensor base, starting with a canary deployment.

Improve monitoring for both sensor and system performance, collecting feedback during Rapid Response Content deployment to guide a phased rollout.

Provide customers with greater control over the delivery of Rapid Response Content updates by allowing granular selection of when and where these updates are deployed.

Provide content update details via release notes, which customers can subscribe to.

Maybe you're thinking of changes that they made as a result of the incident?

No channel files where %100 there. It's in the general GUI settings. You could throttle channel files. Now after this your able to do General availability, Early availability or pausing them.
