Unattended upgrades for server installations are very common. For instance, for Ubuntu/Debian this updates by default daily (source: https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/how-to/software/auto...). No cooldown implemented, AFAIK.

Of course we talk about OS security upgrades here, not library dependencies. But the attack vector is similar.
