Downloading historical blocks?

The way I understand this minimal config should not be downloading any historical blocks?

“Ethereum consensus nodes are required to keep a minimum of 5 months of historical block data ensuring the health of the network.”

I also think keeping 1 block is too little and the full chain too much.

minimal needs to keep about 5 months of history of blocks to follow the honest validator spec...

from initial state, we'll download to head (about 128 blocks ish) then once we're in sync, a service will start that downloads historical blocks... It can take a while to get started, typically within a couple of days you should have all the history you need. It's visible in metrics...
