From personal experience, just make sure it's set to Instant-On mode, and it’ll download stuff while it's sleeping. Game on!

Yup! As long as your Xbox Series X is in Instant-On mode, it'll download games and updates while it’s off.

Yeah, Instant-On mode is key—keeps downloading even when the console is 'off.'

Nope, not if it’s completely turned off. Use Instant-On mode if you want downloads to keep going.
