Series X sent into a semi-boot loop while updating to latest Alpha Skip Ahead update

• Model: Xbox Series X, Alpha Skip Ahead
• Troubleshooting attempted: Reset console without deleting games and apps
• Error Code Received: System Error: E203 0000080C 80070102

I'm just tried to update my console through the Settings app, but when the process reached about 75% of the way through Step 2, the console shut off without turning off my tv. Think it was restarting normally, I left it be for about 20 minutes before I decided to turn it on. I tried my controller but it stayed connected/lit despite the console light not turning on, nor anything being displayed on the screen. I then manually turned on the console using the power button, and it started up and returned to the update screen, except now it was 73% of the way through Step 3. Shortly after, the "Something went wrong" screen appeared briefly, before the console shut off entirely, so quick I barely had time to turn on my controller. I then turned on the console, and the same thing happened, except when the error screen showed up, it read "Startup Error" and had a very distorted UI for just a few seconds before the console shutoff entirely. I tried this multiple times, and despite the progress of the Step 3 loading bar changing progress each reboot, it was to no avail. I could make out the "System Error: E203 0000080C 80070102" Nothing changed, so I tried launching the Troubleshooting manually, and thankfully it worked. I followed the steps of resetting my console, and thankfully that worked. The console was updated successfully afterwards as well. Just posting so it is made aware; I figured making a report on my console wouldn't be helpful, as the console was reset.
