  • it's possible there's a plugin that's trying to implement its own update mechanism that's interfering due to not implementing the filters properly but without knowing which plugins are not updating and which plugins are installed it's entirely a guess. It could even be your own code causing the problem but I don't see a way for that to happen. It would be much easier to use WP CLI and cron or a dedicated package manager such as composer than to try to auto-update on admin_init, especially since there's no throttling/limits in place here. At a minimum your admin gets slower from HTTP requests
