Redownload whole file again after playing for weeks

I bought a new PS4 for my son and call of duty last week got it all downloaded took about two days. Been playing it online near a week now. Then this morning I start it up and it says can’t play until new download is done. It’s making me redownlaod the whole upgrade file again of 99 gigs. Is this Normal? Will I loose our ranking and stats??
Any info would be awesome

No. The game is just trying to patch itself. And no, you won't lose your ranking and stats. It's on the server.

What it sounds like, is someone turned off the console, and the system has to re-do the download. You don't really need to turn it off to cool it. Place the system in Rest Mode while you download the game/patches, and actually, this method is better than leaving the console on overnight. This time, DO NOT TURN OFF THE SYSTEM. Let it finish the download, and installation. There's two parts.

Download > Copy > Installation.
 
It was in rest mode. So it does this often randomly wants to update patches that are around 100 gb?

The game was already downloaded and updated for over a week. Now it’s doing it all over again. I guess I’m not understanding I have it go on rest mode all last night to and I work up saying can’t play until it updates. It’s the same update it already has is it some kinda bug? What’s it mean to patch?

Notice how each time you are about to download a new update? It shows some numbers? Like 1.16? That's an update by file. So, developers call it "patch update." The game-facing update is different, and isn't like patch updates. It's just small "update" like playlist update.

What I think happened is someone touched your system overnight, and it interrupted the download. I think the download finished, but didn't finish copying files, then installing. So, right now you need to start over again. I know you said you downloaded it, if that happened - then it's probably a glitch/bug.

I don't know, man. Go here: https://www.codforums.com/threads/activision-support-links-to-know-about.11788/

I was never downloading nothing last night at all just playing online like normal. Everything was fine like it has been since I bought. I just don’t understand why it would make me redownload the patch I already have? Which is 1.19.
