GrapheneOS version 2023020200 released
Looks like it went release overnight. Installed without any issues so far.
Thank you!

Same here.
Graphite You can disable the updater and enable it when you want to update:
Won't it break things if you skip quite a few incremental updates though?
At least when not disabling it completely, I saw that it will at least notify you of an
available update but won't auto download/install it, as opposed to a disabled app
which will then have to fetch all the delta updates and apply them one after another.
It's my understanding that the updater app will only apply an incremental update if one is available. It'll use a full update if not.
The updater app checks for updates using this format: [device name]-incremental-[current version number]-[target version].zip
. Like I found three incremental updates for the Pixel 6:
oriole-incremental-2023012500-2023020200.zip
oriole-incremental-2023011000-2023020200.zip
oriole-incremental-2023010300-2023020200.zip
So, if I had version 2022122700 on my phone then it would use the full update.
Here's stuff I checked for my answer:

Thanks, for some reason in my case (on a stable channel P4a) I found that skipping a minor
weekly update, and installing another one, will cause 2 updates and 2 reboots meaning it will
prefer to do 2 deltas instead of a full one.
I personally prefer to apply only the monthly Android security patch, rather the weekly GOS releases.
However it's not an option to choose such a release channel, so I stick with "extra-stable" in my case.
One of my favorite things is the promptness and regularity of the OS updates.
I would never skip one.
