Mine did that too. So to fix this I set it to power saving option instead of insta on. Rebooted and then set it back to insta on. Since then i don't recall it being on during the night.. previously it was working with fan on. Good thing it is whisper quiet. I hope it will help u because lets be honest my solution is very quirky

It’s whisper quiet, until you notice it :)
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try it.

Noticed it too while fetching something next to it. It was so silent I had to be 20cm away to hear it, but the fan was running indeed while the console was off. Checked again a few days later, it was sleeping properly. Haven't happened since.
Maybe it was just downloading/installing something while off ?

I did think that, but I switched it on and it was idling, no updates or installations.

As you’ve identified, there will be a game that you haven’t quit that keeps the fan spinning. Of course if you quit the game your break quick resume. It’s why I now leave it on eco mode - it still boots up before I can get setup myself. It should be said that not all games behave like this.
I think I might have to do the same. But I like that instant on updates my games and system in the background.
Seems like a bug to me though.
