What does apt-daily.service do?

Question

I searched the internet, and could not find any significant information about it.

Making a wild guess, it performs a daily check for available updates. Is it so?

But then, it significantly slows my startup!

Also, I have disabled automatic updates, and have a habit of checking for, and installing, updates every time I start my computer.

So..... Isn't it wise to stop this service?

                └─dev-disk-by\x2duuid-1860\x2d9879.device @14.785s

Any guidance is really appreciated.
