Right, I know all that. Generally a laptop that’s in Sleep mode should have none to minimal activity but it appears a number of services/daemons on macOS run regardless. Same with XBox.

Any useful suggestions would be welcome.

I paused my son's internet access at around 9:40pm ET yesterday, and this morning, 2:35hours of time was used. Hisotry doesn't log any visits since 9:40pm yesterday, yet time is being consumed. How is this possible?
Looking at the Uncategorized log, there's a list of IPs that seemed to have consumed all the time. These IPs belong to Apple, so calls to these IPs must originate from my son's iPhone or MacBook. My question is (and it's related to my Bedtime question above), if my son's internet access is paused, how are these calls allowed to be made by Orbi?
