I thought the same, then I checked my standby settings after the 2.0 update and I noticed that they had reset. So I changed them to allow for a constant internet connection and then the console crashed and went to safe mode next time I turned it on.

Having disabled 'rest' mode last Friday, I re-enabled it yesterday and when I put the PS4 into rest mode the yellow light looked normal until we went to bed, but this morning it was pulsing distressingly and wouldn't wake. The soft reset (hold down the power button for 10 seconds) didn't reset it so I had to yank the AC cable out - no minor feat in my AV centre!
I'll be fulling switching off the the PS4 until Sony fix this. It's very hit and miss because rest mode worked fine when I updated to firmware 2.0 last Tuesday/Wednesday and worked okay until I caved and switched it off on Friday
I have USB charging completely disabled.

That's precisely what happened to me too. If you hold the power button a good few second (longer than you'd think), the system resets without needing to remove the power cord.Having disabled 'rest' mode last Friday, I re-enabled it yesterday and when I put the PS4 into rest mode the yellow light looked normal until we went to bed, but this morning it was pulsing distressingly and wouldn't wake.

i do think it related to USB because after update 2.0, my PS4 often cannot stop screaming "USB UNSUPPORTED" on top-left screen then suddently it just stop but it will appear again on next boot. (the duration and when it pop-up is random).
hmm. i gotta try going to standby without charging anything
May be it's hardware problem ?
the broken standby only happen on PS4 2.00 so i think its software problem.
or my phone that i charge is broken but in before 2.00, PS4 ignore the error. in 2.00 sony added somekind of check and makes the PS4 froze on standby.

Someone is claiming the problems can be solved by reapplying the 2.00 update. If that's a solution, logically the next PS4 update will solve this by itself. Sadly there's no way to update the PS4 to the same version without a complete wipe.

I didn't encounter any of these problems so I wonder if there's a specific state the console had to be in during the update for the bug to appear. I changed the standby settings to leave the USB always on as it had been reset to 3h after the update, nothing bad happened. I have a big USB hub connected to the PS4 (it requires a usb host to initialize, otherwise it's not powered) I use it to charge almost everything, ironically excluding my PS4 controllers which are on a separate charging dock.

Surely you can just put it into safe mode and force the re-install of the software from the internet or USB stick?
FWIW, I had my USB set to always be powered (though I didn't have anything connected to it) when I had the issue. Waiting for Sony to put out a fix before I start using rest-mode again.
@patsu - Nah, Sony broke something on the software side. Hopefully they can track down the bug and fix it relatively quickly.

i have stopped charging my phone on PS4 and it seems rest mode works fine. It still continue downloding Evolve Alpha in background, albeit veeeeery slow*.
*to be frank, PSN download never run fast. Dunno why.

Ya, don't use rest mode.
Ya, don't use rest mode.
okay, found a sure-fire way of making it crash.
here what i do.
1. Plug Sony xperia SP on USB1 with Mass Storage mode enabled.
2. Plug Sony USB MicroSD Card Reader with 32GB mSD on USB2
3. go to rest mode
4. done, PS4 crashed. It will indefinetely pulsating orange LED.
maybe a bug in the new USB music player? maybe it froze and cannot be "killed". All the stuff i plugged are sony-branded so it should be compatible right?

Do you know if rest mode Is enabled by default or was it a feature the user had to enable?
When you power off with your controller you can pick it as an option
