Just checked my MacBook Pro...45 days. And yeah, that was likely for some updates.

How do I check this? (I’ll go ahead and discard my HN dumbass card with this move.)

Open Terminal.app from Spotlight or Applications/Utilities, then type "uptime" (without quotes) and press Return.

Then again with quotes also works, as long as you balance them.

    > sw_vers -productVersion
    10.10.5
    > uptime
    22:37  up 58 days, 14:45, 7 users, load averages: 2.65 2.87 2.36

`uptime`

You can also open the menu from the apple icon > about this mac > system report > Software > "time since boot: x days"
