I discovered that the command "$ appcenter -s" causes the program to continuous search for updates: in the updates tab, the "searching for updates..." prompt repeatedly appears.
Starting appcenter through "$ appcenter" does not do this.
Also, this error message is displayed in terminal in both cases:
[FATAL 01:30:51.956022] Client.vala:250: The package id's '' are not valid
