pacman -Syu updates your databases if the repositories haven’t been checked recently, and upgrades any new package versions.

pacman -Syyu forces updates of your databases for all repositories (even if it was just updated recently) and upgrades any new package versions.

pacman -Syuu upgrades packages and also downgrades packages (if you happen to have a newer version than in the repository). Normally this should not be used. Only if you’re trying to fix a specific issue due to a new package being removed from the repository.

This is what we know from reading documentation around:

-y checks the repositories hashes on the available mirrors, comparing them to the local system. If there is a difference, downloads and updates the package list from the available mirrors.
-yy doesn’t check anything. Just downloads and updates the package list for all repositories from the available mirrors.

On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be much point to this. Why not just, you know, always use -yy? And in fact, you can. It’s perfectly alright.

-y checks the repositories hashes on the available mirrors, comparing them to the local system. If there is a difference, downloads and updates the package list from the available mirrors. Use it when you haven’t made any changes to your repository or mirror list.
-yy doesn’t check anything. Just downloads and updates the package list for all repositories from the available mirrors. Use it when you changed your repository or mirror lists.

No if using pamac, octopi, that happens turn of the update notifier or better still remover as it plays havac with octopi, pamac, and pacman

Please stop the Manjaro does this and that it does the same they both draw from Arch. using Arch packages Pamac octopi are manjaro packages
