It's done it again this morning. See attached screenshot. Again, I have not opened the gnome-software GUI, only applied a few updates manually with apt:

I've tried to find out the culprit process and it turned out to be Gnome Software. It was consuming 99% of CPU. I remember having clicking "update all" in Gnome Software some time ago and also "check for updates" in control center's details section some time after that.
