Yes. I noticed that too. During backup it pauses when the pc enters sleep mode at least for McCrium.

There is a little bit of subtlety to consider here. While updates cannot happen during standard or traditional sleep mode, then CAN occur while in Modern Standby.

When I found out 24H2 updated could take up to an hour and 45 minutes with all the other issues screen off and sleep would add to problems. I downloaded the 24H2 on two laptops and both took same amount of time. Nether failed.
