This repeats incessantly until com.android.updater app is killed. It's always running like this once it starts. I've to manually kill it to make it stop and to stop it from using like 350mA battery constantly, and get back to my usual idle usage of about 150mA.

This battery draining due to com.android.updater has likely been going on for the past 3 years without me noticing, unless, it's been happening only since like the past 1 year due to some updates. My bet is on the former.

It's not disable-able by normal means, and by abnormal ones it seems it shouldn't be disabled(to avoid boot loop, or failing to boot): https://xdaforums.com/t/do-not-disable-com-android-updater.4084635/

Even in MIUI 14 it seems to be a battery drainer:
