Downloading Android 8.1 forever

Hi everyone. Over the past few months, my Nexus 5X has been asking to update to Android 8.1.0. The first time it popped up, I just restarted and it installed the update, and under system info, it now says that I'm on 8.1.0.

 

However, a few days later, it started downloading a new update automatically. One problem: It was Android 8.1.0 again! It began showing the "downloading updates" notification regularly, asking me to restart the phone to update.

 

I figured it was just a bug until today, when I was notified that I'm low on storage, which shouldn't be the case. I took a look and Android is using up almost 20 of my 32GB. 

 

I assume this means it's actually downloading the same update over and over again, or could something else be going on? Do you guys think I should just give up and factory reset, or maybe there's another fix?

 

Thanks everyone!
