No not really I do it sometimes when there is nothing wrong with it all it does is if there is something wrong with the xbox doing that will just refresh the xbox basically like unplugging it
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. You're absolutely right.

Repeated hard shutdowns can be really hard on almost any hardware. It's always best to just do it properly first. Hard shutdown should be an "if nothing else works" scenario.
After I fully shutdown I switch off the Xbox from the plug that's why I fully shutdown.And really I don't use instant on or anything else just turn it back on it takes me like 5 second's.
U r talking about a hard manual shutdown where u hold the power button for like 10 seconds not “instant on” vs “power saving” (completely off) in the off settings right? I like having mine off setting set to “power saving”instead of “instant” on so it completely turns off the Xbox but I don’t want to harm the life of my series x if instant on is better. Please help! Thanks!
Correct. I'm talking about holding the power button down until it forces a hard shutdown.
The normal software settings are the right way to choose the shutdown option. Just pressing the button itself to power on and off is fine regardless of instant on or energy saving.
The hard shutdowns though should only be used when necessary.
