From the linked documentation:

>

> There are four system-wide options that manage how updates are handed:

> - refresh.timer: defines the refresh frequency and schedule

> - refresh.hold: delays the next refresh until the defined time and date

> - refresh.metered: pauses refresh updates when network connection is metered

> - refresh.retain: sets how many revisions of a snap are stored on the system"

I think people would be much happier with snap if there was a `refresh.off` option.

If that's too over-the-line for Canonical, a `refresh.prompt` with a dismissible nag-message would be better.
