So something's wrong with plex. Are you using it?
If not, maybe just try uninstalling it.
Otherwise you might try downloading the current version from plex.tv and upload it on the web ui's app page. That might help. Some users have found they needed to use firefox to get the app install to work.

Watching Top there seems to be a pattern to it, the CPU is quite spikey, what I see is
CPU Quiet
copy kicks in takes upto 100% cpu for about 7 secs
apt-get kicks in fakes up 100% cpu again for about 7secs
CPU Usage returns to normal for about 5 secs
Then the process repeats, it's pretty much 100% consinstant

Entering journalctl | grep -i "apt-" might give you some clues. Or maybe download the log zip and look in apt-history.log

The next step is to figure out what is doing the apt-get. Did you look at apt-history.log (you'll need to download the log zip to do that)?
