Reading further on the 'Manage updates page it says:
'refresh.timer
Use refresh.timer to modify when, and how frequently, your snaps are
refreshed.
The following example asks the system to only refresh snaps between 4.00am and
7.00am, and 7.00pm and 10:10pm:
$ sudo snap set system refresh.timer=4:00-7:00,19:00-22:10
Other examples for the time and frequency option include:
etc'
For the life of me I can't see how to change the *frequency* of the refreshes,
only how to set bounds on the when they occur. If I could use the
refresh.timer switch to stop refreshes occurring before 0700 or after 1800
*and* (say) 10 time a day, then it might be possible to catch the a refresh
since they would be occurring every 54 minutes.
Having said that, this wouldn't help the ordinary user who doesn't even
realise what's happening.
