You can have more than 1 in one day but 8 does seem like a lot.
As long as you don`t get 8 every day, I wouldn`t worry about it.
I seem to get an update following a deliberate restart. Conversely I have add occasional days with no Defender update being added to the list.
There seem to be a lot through a 24 hour period, but I suppose it`s normal.
I just installed another.
Did you have 8 updates or 8 attempts at getting updates?
You can see a log of updates in Event viewer to check -
Windows logs
System
Source - WindowsUpdateClient
EventID - 19
and at
Applications and service logs
Microsoft
Windows
Windows defender
Operational
EventID - 2000
[and EventID - 2001 provides a log of update errors]
