I'd advise using the -d option of zypper which causes it to only download the new packages and not install them. Let that run over night or during your lunch break or whatever and then zypper up without the -d to overwatch the update process.
This is *especially* true when updates/upgrades are of this magnitude. Having space, I *always* download the entire change first, then apply all at once.
I've only done one zypper dup since 0630 hit the mirrors, in my usual way, with DownloadAsNeeded in zypp.conf and with only the -v switch on zypper cmdline. 940+ packages, and no hiccups. After all, this is a rolling release, right, and with zypper, FOSS's newest most evolved package manager? My TW installations don't have room to download a whole distro's worth of rpms before starting the upgrade process, which can be a major PITA in Fedora, which AFAIK has no option to not download everything first. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
